It's more about willingness than fitness. Most of our games let people pick their own level pretty well, so some people do short sharp bursts and then hide, sneak or rest, and some people are just GO, GO, GO for an hour. As long as you're not actually afraid of running you'll be fine ;)
Nothing right now. Eventually we're looking at a subscription model (like 8th Day) to pay for gear, insurance, and venues. They're running £12/month - we'll probably be about half that. You'll get plenty of notice!
(We used to charge per event, anywhere between £10 and £21. This is better for everyone.)
We're quite a diverse lot! Age wise it's mostly mid twenties to mid thirties (but with a big range beyond that), gender wise it's pretty much a 50/50 split.
We're the people that brought you Heist, Grim Victory and LaserTrap. We've been running games since 2008, and have featured in the Guardian, Time Out and the Evening Standard, among others.
It's time to make this thing bigger. With a limited number of crew running games there was a limit to what we could do, and a lot of people were missing out!
Also, the people running the games weren't getting to play much. So we're removing the distinction between players and crew. Everyone gets involved. More games and less logistics!
Not any more! Not that there's anything wrong with them, but Fire Hazard runs games with people, not for them.
You could always talk to our friends at Hide & Seek..
The day this is work, the love of it dies.
We do try not to lose money. Everyone here has a 'real job' as well.
Some events, like the second Citydash, are officially in aid of Mind, donating 100% of revenue.
