Review: CityDash brings live games to the mainstream

CityDash, and its younger sibling Undercover, offer the most accessible introduction to live gaming yet

For most of the past 30 years, live games have straddled a bizarre divide. They have, simultaneously, been a niche subcategory of an already niche pursuit, while also being enjoyed by millions across the world daily.

The latter, you'll know as playground games like hide and seek and tag; the former, if you know it at all, as LARPing, or live-action role-playing - the practice of playing dungeons and dragons-style role-playing games in the real world. Both take play into the outside world, away from tabletops or video games, but they do so in a way less focused on pure skill and athletic ability than conventional sports.
