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, toys or objects to play with

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.
