Learn, laugh, get angry, share sadness and joy

This game was devised here in Swansea by Swansea Asylum Seekers Support members from Sri-Lanka, South Sudan, El Salvador, Cameroon and the UK.

The game takes you on a journey through the UK asylum system. It provides information, but it’s about feelings as well as facts.

The idea of the game is to have fun while you learn about what it feels like to be in the UK asylum system.

It will be best to play the game in a mixed group: with some people who have lived experience of the system, and some people who don’t. That way, everyone can share their understandings and questions.

The UK asylum system brings some very painful experiences. People with lived experience of the system should know that the game will remind them of pain they have suffered. It could even trigger traumatic memories. Please make sure you have support.

We hope the game will make new connections between asylum seekers and refugees and others. We hope it will encourage everyone to overcome the negative and reach the positive in the end.

Special thanks to Harry Richmond (College of Art, UWTSD) for the final art design.

If you have any questions, please contact SASS for more info about the game.
