The Big Woolwich TXT Game was a participatory art project that used storytelling and sms messaging to investigate the local area. Using mobile gaming technology, participants took part in a game that invited them to solve a series of clues and discover an unfolding story along the way.
Taking place around the Woolwich Arsenal and the riverfront in July 2009, the Big Woolwich TXT game was not only an enjoyable and absorbing day out, but also a chance for local people to experience Woolwich in a new and exciting way.
