- Interactive performances by Civilised Mess
- Immersive participation steered by London Quest – “The level of spontaneous, unrestrained participation that Quest’s ensemble elicits from its audience is astonishing’ – The Times
- The Explorer by Dread Falls Theatre
- Role Play direction by Firecat Masquerade
- Live Drawing and Portrait Painting by Bohemian Artist’ Studio
- Ms Chameleon’s Incredible Flea Circus
- NK Guy’s Photo Booth
The event also doubles as the UK launch of the next book in the story. Clockwork Watch: Breakaway
The Name Game! Win A Free Copy of Breakaway
One of the rewards of creating a project like Clockwork Watch is being able to sketch our patrons into our story. Our objective is to inspire them to participate in the make believe we’re creating.
Our online world is a sandpit where you can interact with the narrative, contribute to an alternate history, and propose creative adjustments to the Clockwork Watch story universe.
A free copy of Breakaway to the first person to name this V(I)P. 😉

Why We Believe In Our Project!
We”d like to share a quote from someone who has gone through some of the turmoil we’re experiencing, yet now has four Academy Award nominations for his film “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”
“The mentality for our feature was always that we were going to make the film, no matter what. There was never this thing where we were going to write the script and then wait till someone gave us the money. It was always we’re going to make it, and here’s the starting date. If we get the money we’ll make it bigger. If we don’t get the money we’ll shoot it with our cellphones.” – Benh Zeitlin (Director, Beasts of the Southern Wild)
Thanks for your continued support.
More Patrons Feature As Characters In Our Story…
During our crowdfunding campaign, we offered patrons a chance to become part of this 5-year story, by sketching them into the narrative. We hoped many would use their appearance to kick off their own stories, worlds, and much more… And some have!
This week, we’ll give you a couple of snippets from Breakaway, our next graphic novel. This time we’re placing our patrons in roles, as particular characters, and pivotal parts of the story. Clockwork Watch is all about storytelling, what better way to start?
Make Believe Festival – 2013!!!
We are proud to announce the launch of the Make Believe Festival – a weekend-long event where Clockwork Watch meets the Goblin King’s Masquerade Ball.
This is the ultimate hybrid festival, where we invite all to abandon the modern world, and step into the realm of Make Believe…
Save the Date: 3rd – 5th May 2013.
