Play House
Baltic Circle, Helsinki
A flat filled with dozens of people, drinks, food, music… and then what?
Play House took place in a private house. The pre-registered audience members received a text message short before the event, announcing the address – and an individualized time slot for arriving.
An YKON Project.

An YKON Project.

The event appeared like a home party from the outside, but there were a lot of parallel games going on. All of the guests had to complete secret challenges. After completing a challenge, participants would find one of the check points aka YKON members to receive a new challenge and a voucher.


This evening showed how simple, low-tech game mechanics can radically alter how people relate to each other. The four hour event welcomed suspension, deconstruction and reconfiguration with social interactions.




Play House was done for the first time as part of the Baltic Circle Festivals “Finland - developing country of social relations” - program.
