The Incognito Society

Helping students to spark connections

Commissioned by University College London in 2020, Coney created The Incognito Society, a fictional secret society at UCL which has its origins somewhere back in the 1800s.

Over 150 new students joined the society, participating in games and challenges aiming to support them in fostering connections remotely during lockdown. By joining The Incognito Society, students had the chance to learn more about their university’s history and culture. The challenges covered a range of themes, from historical stories to going out spots, arming the first year students with everything they needed to know about their new institution.
