Search through the graves of Green Wood cemetery for a host of ersatz 'ancestors' to fill up your twisted family tree. In this game of exploration and story-weaving, the more black sheep you can discover among your forefathers the better. Compete on your own, or grab a friend or two to help you in your quest. Play at any point over the weekend, but don't forget to make an appearance at the Inaugural Geneology Conference where rival clans will battle it out to win the title of Green Wood's First Family.

Designers: Tara Gladden and Chris Till with Coney
Tara Gladden and Chris Till are Brits based in Brooklyn. Tara is a writer and editor and Chris is the Development Manager for the American Associates of the National Theatre.

Game devised with the help of Coney collaborators: Tassos Stevens, Anna Wexler, Mel Cook, Laura Kriefman and Steve Mills.

Coney is an agency of adventure, making live interactive crossplatform play based on principles including adventure, loveliness and reciprocity. Coney itself plays like a game of secret society where members take codenames, meeting both mano a mano and in an online walled garden to devise and plot.
