Calling all Agents, calling all Agents

…this is Control. We have lost contact to you. Our communications backchannel has been interrupted. We cannot hear you. But we have reason to believe that you can still hear us. In this situation, Silent Relay is activated. Follow all instructions carefully. If you are stopped, abort the operation immediately and swallow the suicide pill that was given to you. We will now switch to your individual channel…

Silent Relay is a 15-minute Audio Adventure for 4 players at Kottbusser Tor, Berlin. Equiped with synchronized MP3-players, Agents Napoleon, Dynamo, Model Student and Swordfish carry out a komplex covert operation at Kottbusser Tor. During the course of the operation, they exchange keycards and code words amongst each other in an extremely coordinated manner, wait for traffic lights to change and penetrate into the lower levels of supermarkets.

This Version of Silent Relay was played during our Winterspiele Street Games Workshop at Kottbusser Tor in Berlin. We’ve developed different versions for the Hide & Seek Sandpit at Victoria & Albert Museum and for MACHT SPIELE! in Conjunction with the Hide & Seek Weekender at the National Theater London.
