About the game

Give A Man A Fish is a live game project about economics, political decision-making, sustainability and economic justice - and a whole lot of fishing!

Players become the leaders of the tribes of Simmerstrand, a once-mighty fishing city on the ancient coast of the Azur Sea. Ravaged by a great disaster, you must rebuild the city, feed and grow your population, develop your fishing technology, and compete for political power, creating new laws to mould the world as you see fit.

Deep below in the depths of the Azur Sea, the Great Fish God H’Vaaluk watches, judging your worthiness, ready to reward or punish them according to Her whims.

Will you collaborate and share the sea’s wealth or compete to corner the market and achieve economic domination? Our dedicated game facilitation team are there to help you achieve any approach you want to try!

Native Reality was formed in 2024 In Norwich, UK, by Tom Francis, an actor, director and all-round theatre nerd with an interest in games of all sorts.

We develop live experiences which explore the space where games and theatre meet. Our goal is to create engaging work which puts the participants, players and audiences firmly in the driving seat to create unique stories which never play the same way twice.

Combining the communal and the individual, the authored and the devised, Native Reality explores real human ideas in fantastic and exciting settings - join us, to find out together just how many stories we can live.
