Bad Altitude Play Party
Let us match-make your team!
What’s a Play Party? Like a watch party, but instead of watching together, you play together. We provide the entertainment, you bring the cheese and pineapple on sticks. Why? Since we released Bad Altitude we’ve had messages from various people who want to to play but don’t have anyone to play with - maybe their friends aren’t into this kind of thing or are really busy, or they just want to meet some new people. So what are you doing? Normally, you would buy a group ticket to play Bad Altitude and assemble your own team. For the Play Party, you just buy a ticket for yourself, tell us what time you want to play, and we put you in a group with 2-5 other people. You show up online at the time you’ve booked for, meet your team and play Bad Altitude. You don’t need to worry about awkward conversation because we’re providing the activity - and if you end up having a good laugh, you might choose to keep in touch. Woah, so you’re going to share all my details with strangers? No. All team members will get a link to the game and a link to jitsi, which is a video platform a bit like Zoom but which doesn’t need you to give your email or log in. You can name yourself whatever you want, and you can choose to start with your camera off. Only people over 18 can join the Play Party and we recommend that you don’t give personal details to your team mates - if you do want to stay in touch, maybe share one of your social media handles for now. Will Fast Familiar be moderating the groups? No. Please play nice and if you think you won’t be able to resist the temptation to act like an asshole, maybe this one isn’t for you. Why would I do this? It might be fun and you might want meet some new people after a year of not doing that. What happens if I meet the love of my life at the Play Party? We want an invite to the wedding/ civil partnership. And for you to name your first child Rhys after the protagonist of Bad Altitude.

About Fast Familiar
Fast Familiar make artworks which are participatory, playful and political. We’re a group of artists from different backgrounds who design audience-centric experiences which often utilise ‘digital technology’. We’re fascinated by human psychology in a rapidly changing world. For us, art is a space to explore questions which are too complex for daily life. We think art can be experimental and ambitious without being elitist.
