Manhattan story mashup – urban game

Manhattan Story Mashup is an urban game, taking place on September 23rd 2006 in Manhattan, New York City. During the event, approximately 250 players will move around Manhattan, taking photos which match a given target. Targets are words from stories, written by you and other visitors on this web site collaboratively while the game goes on. The resulting illustrated stories are shown on large public signs in Times Square in real-time and on this web site.

Manhattan Story Mashup is organized by SensorPlanet, a Nokia Research Center -initiated research program on large-scale sensor networks. This game is a cool way to test our tools and theories in practice with a large number of people. Naturally we’re also interested in sharing fun with other people in the Come Out and Play Festival, which gathers together many games like this in September.
