Sunderland's city centre will be filled with nostalgic games this summer and is set to give a modern twist to old favourites.
Sunderland BID has installed street games like Twister, Bullseye, Snakes and Ladders and Hopscotch in Market Square and Keel Square, transforming the areas into interactive play zones.
The games are digital and played through the Sunderland Experience app, to be enjoyed up until September 7.
Sharon Appleby, chief executive of Sunderland BID said: "All of these games have been a huge part of the childhood for so many people so we imagine that lots of adults will love the opportunity to introduce them to the younger generation".

The games appear as giant vinyls in public areas, their items available digitally.
Ms Appleby added: "We’ve combined some really traditional favourites with digital technology to ensure that they offer a really exciting experience for everyone."
These installations are intended to enhance outdoor spaces and promote physical activity.
The Sunderland Experience app, which hosts these games, can be downloaded from all usual channels.
It also offers information and various activities throughout the year.
