Sanjex Seratti Vintage Games & Entertainments
Meet the Marvelous Sanjex Seratti at Steampunk@Altitude 2025!
Step right up and prepare to be delighted by one of the most eccentric and enchanting figures in the Australian steampunk scene…
In the heart of the Hunter Region, there lives a gentleman unlike any other. His name? Sanjex Seratti—a man of mystery, marvels, and magnificent moustaches. With his towering Penny Farthing bicycle and a trunk full of peculiar contraptions, Sanjex doesn’t just walk into festivals—he rolls in, bringing with him an unforgettable fusion of play, performance, and old-world wonder.
This year, Steampunk@Altitude is thrilled to announce the arrival of Sanjex Seratti as a featured performer and interactive installation. Equal parts showman, engineer, and explorer of forgotten times, Sanjex brings with him a truly immersive experience for festival-goers of all ages.
🕰 A Victorian Visionary in Motion
Sanjex is more than a character—he’s a time traveller with a flair for theatre and an eye for the extraordinary. Inspired by the Victorian age of invention and imagination, his steampunk navigator persona embodies the era’s mechanical curiosity while adding a whimsical modern twist.
You’ll often spot him navigating the streets on his high-seated Penny Farthing bicycle, nodding politely to gasping passersby as he glides past like a living artefact. But don’t mistake him for a novelty—every movement, every contraption, and every game he presents has been lovingly handcrafted, fine-tuned, and curated to tell a story.
At Steampunk@Altitude, you won’t just see Sanjex—you’ll step into his world.
🎠 Hands-On History: Vintage Games Like No Other
What truly sets Sanjex apart is his travelling collection of vintage-inspired games and mechanical amusements. Each one is a tribute to craftsmanship, imagination, and the golden age of curiosity. Designed to captivate both children and adults, these games invite you to leave your screens behind and re-enter a world where the rules are simple, but the challenges are surprising.
Among the many delights you’ll find:
🧩 “The Mazeing Village”
A delicate labyrinth in miniature form. Entirely self-contained within a handcrafted box, this tiny town challenges you to twist and tilt your way through its narrow alleys and hidden pathways. Think of it as a blend of old-world charm and arcade intrigue—no electronics, just dexterity and wit.
🌊 “Ocean’s Edge”
Balance becomes art in this mesmerising game of seafaring precision. Players must guide a fleet of fragile ships across a gently swaying round—representing a flat earth world—without toppling the entire expedition. It’s part science experiment, part naval drama, and all fun.
These are just a few examples of Sanjex’s ever-growing arsenal of delights. From tumbling towers to mechanical mind-benders, every game is built from scratch, using timber, brass, leather, and love. And yes—he’s still building more.
🎩 A Steampunk Character Brought to Life
Sanjex Seratti is not a costume. He is not an act. He is the living embodiment of the steampunk spirit—curious, creative, and completely committed to the wonder of invention. His outfit, complete with vintage goggles, hand-stitched waistcoats, and a walking cane that might contain a secret or two, is as much a part of his creations as the games themselves.
What makes Sanjex such a standout at steampunk events is that he doesn’t just show up—he interacts, converses, and draws people in. Children look up in awe, adults lean in with nostalgia, and everyone leaves with a grin. His presence at a festival doesn’t feel like entertainment—it feels like time has slipped sideways and brought something magical through.
📍 As Seen Across the State
If you’ve attended any heritage or steampunk events in New South Wales in recent years, there’s a good chance you’ve crossed paths with Sanjex. He’s been a guest of honour and roving favourite at events such as:
The Goulburn Steampunk & Victoriana Fair
Wallsend 150th Anniversary
The Maitland Heritage Festival
Steampunk@Altitude – past editions
Wherever he appears, feedback is unanimous: “We want more Sanjex.” And now, at Steampunk@Altitude 2025, he’s bringing more than ever.
🧠 The Art of Analog Play
One of Sanjex’s missions is simple: help people rediscover the joy of analogue interaction. In a world increasingly glued to screens and devices, his games stand as a challenge—and a reminder—that joy can come from simplicity.
The tactile feel of a well-worn wooden lever. The satisfying click of a mechanical lock. The gentle clink of brass weights shifting across a handmade track. These are the sensations Sanjex offers in place of pixels. And at a festival grounded in imagination, they fit right in.
His entertainments are not just games—they’re experiences, built to spark conversation, competition, and collaboration. It’s not uncommon to see strangers become teammates, friends become rivals, and parents momentarily transformed back into children.
🎉 Perfect for All Occasions
Although Sanjex is a staple of major festivals, his wonder-filled collection and delightful presence are also available for:
Birthday parties
Weddings with a twist
Corporate retreats
School fairs
Themed conferences
Community events
He travels with everything he needs to turn a grassy paddock or a grand ballroom into a pop-up carnival of Victorian delight. Whether he’s drawing curious crowds at a show day or providing quirky photo ops at a private event, Sanjex tailors his setup to suit the tone and audience.
📸 Photo Ops & Lasting Memories
In an age where selfies are currency, Sanjex provides something truly unique: a chance to snap a photo with a living artefact of another era. His towering bicycle, immaculately detailed costume, and one-of-a-kind creations make for irresistible backdrops.
At Steampunk@Altitude, don’t miss your chance to capture the moment—whether it’s your child conquering the Mazeing Village, you battling a friend on Ocean’s Edge, or simply sharing a laugh with Sanjex himself.
