Abstract
Urban games, by using the city as a medium, temporarily surface underlying ideologies and systems influencing urban life. This paper explores the political potential of this medium anchored by interviews with urban game makers/organizers and the strategies they have developed to bring inclusive, safe, and enlightening forms of play and public engagement to the city.
