Folks who had the pleasure to attend Alex Fleetwood and Co's triumphant location-based games festival Hide & Seek Festival would have certainly noticed And I Saw..., the ongoing I Spy-alike game running throughout the weekend. The game, which uses stickers littered throughout the playing field, mobile phones and (ahem) web analytics (no, it's really interesting for a visualisation geek like me).
Well, Chris Thorpe, creator of the game, is running it again during this weekend's Thames Festival in London. Says he:
To set the game up we wander around and sticker things (which we know the GPS co-ordinates for) and give them all a unique name and also a unique 6 digit code which we write on the sticker...People register with us and tell us their mobile phone number and give themselves a unique name and we register that in the database and give them a sticker with their code written on it.
You can read others' impressions here and see the Flickr group too. And if you happen to be around the Big Smoke over the next day or so, you too could get involved.
