The First World Fancy Dress Space Hopper Polo Championship!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

space-hopperI had a vision. A cowboy. Riding at the beach. On his horse. No. On a space hopper! Next to a yodelling Austrian guy in his leather pants. They are chasing a beach ball. None of them get it. That French madame with a baguette under her arm was quicker. She hits the ball and BAM goal!

No there was nothing wrong with the mushroom ragout I had, I am talking about the newly announced game of BOGfest! The First World Fancy Dress Space Hopper Polo Championship! There will be about six different teams dressed up in national costumes playing Polo! Not funny enough?

On space hoppers! With inflatable mallets!

You can watch, you can compete, you can sponsor one of our teams of international superstars. Don’t worry if you don’t know the rules, there aren’t any! So why not grab your hopper by the horns and be part of this historic event?

Will the English Knights bounce back from their disappointing performance in the Europeans and defeat the Hoppy Hun in their lederhosen? Can the the plucky kilted Scots take on the mighty American cowboys? Will the Emirate Sheiks trillions help them bounce past the bikini clad Brazilians?

The event is organised by Bounce Your Balls testicular cancer campaign. For more details see www.bounceyourballs.com email bounce@bounceyourballs.com or call the head bouncer on 07981 334222.

Melisande joins Brightonweb

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

MelVoila everybody! I’m Melisande. I’m the new trainee of Richard’s team. In the next 4 weeks, I’m working on the BOGfest project and  I’m very enthusiastic about it.

I’m 28, I come from France and on the 1st day I tried one of the GPS games, it was a lot of fun and it told me something about the story of Brighton. Without hesitating, I recommend everyone “The Treasure Hunt “.

Raphaela joins BOGfest

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

RaphaelaHello there, my name is Raphaela and I’m the new helping hand for Richard. In the next few weeks I’m going to help him prepare the fantastic BOGfest and get involved in the marketing. Moreover, I’ll be here to  support developing new games.

I’m from Austria but live and work in Brighton. To be honest, at the beginning I was slightly confused with all those new ideas and the thing with the gps but yesterday I got to play the treasure hunt game and actually loved it! I think it’s so much fun and I really wonder now why noone else had the idea before of creating that type of game. I’m sure this is going to be a great success and hey, now I’m part of it!!!
