About the project
“Pause the City – Play the Game” is a card game with an interactive website that takes place in the city.
The card can be hidden in places around the city, or found at the website. All the cards describe quests that take place around in different parts of the city.
The quests will challenge the player to explore both the city in a new way, and the players personal limits of opt in/opt out. The connected website will be a platform for the game, and make the game to be a living organism where the players develop the game in new directions. New cards can me made, exchanged and the game will grow along with the players.
Without any commercial, political or any pretold purpose at all, the game aspires to let the player determine both outcome and art.
The game just exist.
