The Seed: An Adventure by Goat and Monkey and David Varela

As part of the Ahead of the Game Festival this year, we are very excited to announce The Seed:

Can you unravel the myth and discover the treasure?

Treasure Hunt. Online Game. Live Performances.

Summer 2012.

Lost for a hundred years a precious seed lies undiscovered.

Part immersive theatre and part online mystery, The Seed is a real-world treasure hunt of the grandest proportions.

Inspired by true stories of the intrepid Victorian plant hunters, The Seed asks a new breed of hunter to follow clues and claim the lost treasure. Help our heroine in her quest online and witness one or all of the four different theatrical performances in the Great Gardens of Sussex. Each one contains different clues, characters and encounters.

The fourth and final play is a pageant steeped in folklore – a night time adventure in spectacular surroundings. This event cuts to the heart of the mystery and is only for the bravest and most spirited of explorers.

The Online story begins on 28 May. Join the hunt (this links to page on G and M website (basically a holding page) which contains details and also where they can input their info)
