Play our new virtual game: You see All

About us
Welcome to You See All, a game and experience by UCL Culture that turns the real world on its head.
You See All offers a parallel version of London, where the buildings and parks of Bloomsbury become epic forests, dungeons and temples. We’ve taken the personality of real-world locations and put them through a fantasy lens; museums become haunted ruins and a park becomes a poisonous jungle.
Over five weeks you can visit an interactive map and solve 18 puzzles connected to the different spaces. You can play the game either in teams or as an individual.
You See All was created in partnership with UCL Culture, escape room designer Sacha Coward and illustrator Sheldon Goodman. Their goal was to create a playful and safe way for students to explore the UCL Bloomsbury Campus.

Professor Smith dedicated his life and career to the archaeology and history of the people of the Nile Valley, both ancient and modern. Following his distinguished work as Lecturer at the University of Cambridge, Professor Smith joined UCL in 1963, first as Reader and then as Edwards Professor of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology from 1970 until 1986.Alongside his teaching and the myriad responsibilities of these roles, Professor Smith was in charge of the Petrie Museum collection as part of a small and dedicated team, including curators Barbara Adams and Rosalind Janssen, and was founder and past President of the Friends of the Petrie Museum. His determination to ensure the safety and security of the collection for future generations never stopped. While it is an impossible task to detail all of Professor Smith’s achievements at the Petrie Museum, key accomplishments include (but are certainly not limited to): Leading the documentation and distribution of thousands of objects from the Wellcome Collection of Egyptian and Sudanese Antiquities to museums around the UKCommitted fundraising campaigns to relocate the Petrie Museum to a new, more suitable and safer buildingSupporting generations of students, and Petrie Museum staff, in their research and publication of the Petrie Museum collectionDocumentation and publication of the Petrie Museum collection, including the registration of thousands of objectsMore on Professor Smith’s research output can be found in this obituary from the University of Cambridge.We thank Professor Smith for his unwavering support for the Petrie Museum, including long after his retirement from UCL, and for inspiring so many people with this knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness throughout his lifetime. Here, we would like to share some personal reflections.Catriona Wilson (Petrie Museum Head of Collection):I first met Professor Smith in 2022 when he launched his book, Nubian Memoirs, with the Friends of the Petrie Museum. It was my very great privilege to host Harry at my house for the evening with Sue and Mike Davies so that they could join the book launch live on Zoom. I was subsequently able to spend a bit more time with Harry at his house last summer on the occasion of his 95th birthday along with Sue, Mike, Robert Morkot (President of the Friends of the Petrie Museum) and Lucia Gahlin (former Chair of the Friends). We spent a very happy afternoon in the sunshine together, admiring the roses and sharing memories of the Petrie Museum. I will never forget listening to Harry describe a time when, during a visit to UCL as a much younger man, he saw Flinders Petrie speaking to Margaret Murray in the Quad – to be one degree of separation from Petrie and Murray was quite incredible. Anna Garnett (Petrie Museum Curator):There are many people without whom the Petrie Museum collection would not be here today, and one of these is undoubtedly Professor Smith. I had the privilege of corresponding with him, via letters, during the years of Coronavirus lockdowns. As well as sharing personal insights into his work at 911, and updates on his life, Professor Smith’s letters exuded kindness and patience for this enthusiastic Egyptologist and they will remain among my most prized possessions.I was only able to meet Professor Smith in person once, at the occasion of his 90th birthday party at 911 organised by the Friends of the Petrie Museum in June 2018. It was a very brief interaction, as he was very much in demand by all at the party, but in just a few minutes he said something to me as the new Curator of his beloved Petrie Museum collection that I’ll never forget. “When you have a little bit of money, be sure to buy new showcases”. Professor Smith’s concern for the safety of the collection remained with him long after he left 911, and this will remain with me throughout my UCL career.

Whether you are a student, academic, artist or any combination of the three, we invite you to pitch ideas for the festival that responds to the themes, can work within social distance measures, and be open to being performed in unusual spaces across the UCL Culture venues.We are interested in small scale work which has a ‘pop up’ feel as well as large scale ideas. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary pieces and those which push you and the audience out of comfort zones. We are open to all types of performance from dance, theatre, music, spoken word and poetry, circus, comedy, multimedia as well as talks and facilitated conversations. This is a funded opportunity and the application deadline is 9am on Friday 26 February 2021.
