A person in dark tactical gear runs past a fenced area on a paved road. Text reads "CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?" in large yellow letters.

Can You See Me Now? is BACK and will premiere at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts this Autumn. In a world exclusive, you can play online from anywhere or as a runner in person at ACCA.

Can You See Me Now? is a thrilling mobile chase game with a twist. Download the app and you’re dropped into a colourful 3D world where you swap tactics with other players to avoid being caught by the game’s runners.

The twist? The 3D world of the game is based on the real courtyards and buildings of the campus around ACCA. And as your player dodges round corners and down cut-throughs to evade the runners, those runners are chasing you in real time across the campus: working up a sweat and streaming their taunts via live audio.

Play on your mobile from the comfort of an armchair.

Or pull on your running shoes and play in person as a runner at ACCA.
