Roll up, roll up! It’s a speculative time travel game at Queen Vic Market!
Back after being thwarted by Covid, Worth While is a live roleplay that Mick and I created through the Testing Grounds’ Public Art Park residency next to QVM. We’re running just one session on Saturday 9 December.
We wanted to make something fun and spiky – something that pokes breathing holes in how we think about cost, value and the market, that also has space for different feelings. Softness and silliness and homesickness. The smell of fish and the squish of a persimmon. So somehow we ended up with time travel.
It’s free, fun and possibly the momentary break from this reality you need right now:
Worth While

Testing Grounds, Queen Victoria Market

Worth While is a live-action time travel game exploring what value really is.
Take on a new identity as a traveller from the year 2100. Go through a time machine to the market in 2023 where you can hunt for bargains and treasures to take home to the future. Then show and tell your fellow travellers what you found so you can pass through customs.
We look backwards to taking you to the past!
