Esc. With Us

Esc. With Us

From screens to streets, let nostalgia take hold and hit your high score on beloved arcade classics!

World Premiere

Esc. With Us is an ode to retro-game play – a time when video games were played standing up – together. 

We are bringing nostalgia out of our screens, out of arcade darkness and into the streets. A glowing collection of puffy gaming consoles, made from inflatables in 80s-coloured graphics inspired by Tang, Fanta and Lifesavers, call to mind the fun palace of old-school arcade parlours – places where you met your crush, made new friends to give friendship bracelets to, ate pizza and scored big. 

Join us on King St for a free pop up of nostalgia.

On Sat 16 Sep, Esc. With Us will feature as part of the 80s King St. Party, so dust off your rollerskates and break out the bubble skirts… it’s party time.
