Wifi Wars

Sat 16 May 2026

Comedy Family Interactive

From classic TV game shows to zen-like word puzzles, from retro video games to modern first person shooters, WiFi Wars has something for everyone in its truly original whistlestop tour of all the ways you can have fun, in public.

The entire audience competes, both as teams and as individuals, on games, quizzes and more that are magically beamed into their smartphones and tablets using WiFi Wars’ Guinness World Record-Breaking tech, developed in residency at London’s prestigious Royal Institution.

Hosted by comedian Steve McNeil (team captain on the hit TV show "Dara O’Briain’s Go 8 Bit"), WiFi Wars is the Award-Winning must-see show that’s like nothing you’ve seen before. As teams and players thrive and fail, each show’s unique narrative emerges hilariously in real time, with freshly-minted heroes becoming local legends in every place they visit.

Important Information: Ensure you bring a smart device (phone/tablet) for each player - essentially you just need something with a touch-screen and a web-browser installed.

Also, make sure it’s got some battery charge in it as you’ll use it to play along with the entire show, but don’t worry - it doesn’t hugely drain your battery.

And you don’t need to download an app or install anything in advance, we’ll get you all set up when you arrive.
