Wayfinder Live

Troy Innocent

Originally created for Melbourne International Games Week, Wayfinder live is a live game in which you explore cities through play. Wayfinding not to get from a to b but to find a new way to be. Scanning urban codes on the street unlock fragments of animation and sound documenting traces of a hidden micronation.

That way to be is in a place called the Micronation of Ludea. If you have played a game then you have been to Ludea. It is that space you go to when you are ‘in-game’, in the zone, immsersed in play.

In Wayfinder Live you use tokens to influence locations and claim them for your faction: will you paint the town orange, green or blue? Played in Aarhus, Barcelona, Bristol, Dublin, Melbourne, Singapore, Taipei, and Tampere.
