WNDRLND Loisada Urban Scavenger Hunt

Wanderland is a co-designed alternate reality scavenger hunt, using a collaborative map as an interface to mediate between players’ movements and green thumb’s community garden network in NYC. An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs trans-media storytelling to deliver a story that is altered by players’ actions. Wanderland worked with three community gardens in the Lower East Side and had an archival research component focusing on the Puerto Rican heritage of the Lower East Side from 1965 to 1989.
