Last weekend, the Toronto International Film Festival concluded with the last of the world premieres, red-carpet galas, star-studded parties, and not to mention TIFF Nexus’ own major contribution to the festivities: the presentation of a 100-player co-op laser game called RENGA, which we hyped up here, and which reduced its two audiences to a cacophony of enthusiastic oohs and ahhs.

In the weeks to come, we’ll be uploading some footage of the two audience’s collaborative interactive excursion into deep space (where they learned to harvest quads and blow up big “reds” and “blues”), but for now let the tweets of those that attended tell the tale:
