Public Transit Reality Game

Posted by Zonk on from the elementary,-my-dear-holmes dept.

Corngood writes "Like Pacmahattan, but with streetcars. Toronto designer Joel Friesen has created a giant game of tag using cell phones and Toronto's public transit system. Live Action Scotland Yard (L.A.S.Y.) is a giant game of hide and seek. One guy tries to hide by using the subway system while three or four other people have to find out where he is by the clues he leaves and the dispatchers phoned in instructions. The game starts this Saturday the 23rd, he's looking for more players. It's free, promotes public transport, and there will be beers afterwards."

    Introverted, suspicious-looking people acting strange on public transportation. What a wonderful point in history to do this!

    What it means is that in Canada the terrorists have not won.
