As children, we play outside with friends — we dream together, tell stories, and believe that everything will work out. Then life happens, and inevitably, it scatters us across different corners of the world.

But what if once a year — no, once every five years, or maybe even less often — we still manage to keep our promise and meet again, at the same place, that same airfield we used to sneak into through a hole in the fence?

This is a live role-playing game about how time changes us and our dreams — and how we become witnesses to each other’s lives.

During the game, you will live through the lifetime of a small group of friends — from age ten to about eighty or ninety — playing out short reunion scenes and making important choices between them.

You’ll need headphones and a phone with internet access.

Time: 3 hours
Participants: up to 20
Topics: dreaming, childhood, friendship, aging
Mood: nostalgic and hopeful
Set-up: location in nature, Dreamjournals, bandanas, pins with symbols, kites, cards with events

Flying Field is a part of the Dreamwalk series, developed in 2025 with the support and production of Sickhouse, a playful cultural space in Enschede. All Dreamwalk experiences were played in liminal public places across Enschede in the Netherlands.

The entire Dreamwalks series has been turned into a collection of zines, each containing full facilitator instructions for hosting the experiences. The zines were designed by Pablo San Gregorio and published in a limited edition by Sickhouse. You can download them all at Sickhouse’s itch.
