Soul Injector Commando + Records of Babel + Kippen + NOCLIP + Rotterdam playground design

The first double- digit UGE. Also the last UGE this year.

Join us on Sunday 1 1 October 2026 for one final evening of surreal games and grounde d talks that hold a balancing act between imagination and resistance.

The Martinican writer and activist Suzanne Césaire called surrealism "< a href="https://monoskop.org/images/0/04/Cesaire_Suzanne_The_Great_Camoufl age_Writings_of_Dissent_1941-1945_2012_part.pdf?utm_source=untitledgamesev ent&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sun-oct-11-untitled-games-event- 10-tightrope-of#page=5" target="_blank">the tightrope of our hope", an d the five works in [untitled games event] #10 span the surrealist spectru m. Some silly, some rebellious, some transformative. Each finding intercon nection even in isolation. Each activating a “readiness for the marvelous. ”

Soul Injector Commando is a chill and vibrant fi rst-person game that starts with the premise that billionaires are a bligh t on the world.

NOCLIP explores dream logic, liminal spaces, and spatial dissonance through digital architecture.

Play! is a book about playgr ound design in the Netherlands, and frames playgrounds as sites for progre ssive, even radical practices.

Kippe n is a fast-paced deck building card game where your chi ckens get yolked and take on wizards.

And together with artist Ada Null we explore Records of Babel, part of The Zium Railway, a sumptuous hand-crafted “open world” art gallery.

For one last time in 2026, we can’t wait to see you all and experience these works tog ether.
