Saturday Club Game project, 2022: 

Back in 2021 our Saturday Clubs expressed an interest in designing and playing games. Fastforward to 2022 and that became the focus for an entire project. 

During the Spring of 2022, Grimm & Co’s weekly Saturday Clubs embarked on creating their very own story telling word games using Twine.  Saturday Clubs come along each week to share their love for creative writing and being imaginative. 

Working with volunteer mentors, our young people created characters, whole new worlds and wrote the content for choice based story games, Food Adventures and The Infinite Subway. 

This project wouldn’t have been possible without funding from Children in Need, Esmee Fairburn, Tudor Trust, National Lottery Community Fund and Arts Council England. 

Food Adventures

This game is about getting lost in a wood in Food Land trying to get help. An adventure of yummy and spectacular foods, and it’s really good! The ultimate non-picture, non-soundtrack word game! It will tease your brain. 

Sponsored by Saturday Morning Group. 

This game was made by the Grimm & Co Saturday Morning club and its volunteers.

The Infinite Subway

Welcome to The Infinite Subway, the train that goes to all places and no places. Your adventure starts here. All you need to do is to get to the end of the train to turn off the engine and get to your stop. The issue is that there are problems along the way… Problems that need to be solved with your help. Good Luck! 

This game was made by the Grimm & Co Saturday Afternoon club and its volunteers.
