Projected light and thermal-imaging technology were used to create jaw-dropping interactive playing arenas in which the physical movements of players determined the outcome of the games. Participants developed their game-playing skills as they progressed through a number of levels to help their area to victory or to simply have fun.

Great Street Games was open to everyone and did not exclude those with limited mobility.
