THE MINISTRY OF STEAMPUNK
​Introduction
The 'Passport Game' has been in existence for a few years already. Spoof 'Steampunk Passports' are available to purchase from Event Control and you can collect special stamps from a number of events and traders during the year. ​​​​​​
​
For AXV we decided to run an extra stamp game which we have created with help from Doctor Geof and we have called 'Collect 15'
How it works
When you collect your wristband from Event Control you can pick up an A6 trifold booklet with the above splendid logo on the front. Inside the booklet you will find spaces for 15 stamps. Seven are for specific Asylum locations, seven are for traders of your choice and the final one will only be given once the other 14 spaces have been filled.
The special locations
The seven places you must visit during Asylum in order to collect the stamps located there are as follows.
1) The Great Exhibition - which this year is being held in the Heritage Centre in the castle
2) The Asylum Post Office - which will be open at Event Control in Castle Square from 12 noon each day
3) The First Tea Company - run by Doctor Geof and located in the Trader's Marquee in the castle
4) The County Assembly Rooms - either at the bar or at the MoS 'reception' area in the hallway/Oval room
5) The Tea Tent - located in the Castle Grounds (and new for AXV)
6) Westgate Academy which is (unsurprisingly) on Westgate
7) The Merch Gazebo which will be in the Castle in front of the the Courthouse (near the sound tent)
​
All of these locations will have a special stamp designed with Doctor Geof and bearing the words 'Asylum XV'. These dated stamps will not be available at any other event.
Traders and the Final Stamp​
As well as collecting stamps at the above 7 locations many traders at MoS events have their own stamps.
You will need to visit your choice of 7 traders and collect their stamps too.
Once you have 14 stamps you can take your card back to the Asylum Post Office (remember it is only open in the afternoons!) and they will give you the final special Doctor Geof special AXV stamp to complete your set. As with the 7 Asylum location stamps, the '15' stamp will only be available at AXV.
The first 100 people who complete their card on Saturday, Sunday or Monday will receive a collectable limited edition silicone wristband bearing the dates of all of the confirmed MoS events over the coming year up to and including Asylum XVI. Any bands not collected on Saturday or Sunday will be held over to the following day.
