Giant Games was established in April 2012. So how did it all begin?
Here is our story.
Giant Games Co-Founder, Amy Saunders Grey, is a Landscape Architect. She is passionate about activating and "humanising" public space. In 2009 she pitched an idea to the Brisbane City Council. Inspired by childhood memories of playing board games with her relatives, friends, parents and grandparents, and fuelled by her passion to activate public space, she submitted a concept to the Brisbane City Council called "Games Night @ King George Square". Taking a piece of often maligned open public space, she created a place where people could congregate on the evening of the last Thursday of each month to socialise across diverse demographics, and play board games.
Realising that the event needed a way to bring in people, we created a few "Giant Games". We started with Giant Scrabble, hand painted on a large calico sheet. Then we added a mix of hand manufactured and purchased Giant Games. The word started to spread. Games Night @ King George Square attracted more and more people, drawn to this truly unique event. And others too saw the opportunity to use Giant Games to add a bigger dimension to their next social or corporate event.
And thus "Giant Games" was born.
