The game
There are different genres of game among which you can choose the one you prefer or the one which is closer to the kind of mask you are wearing.
Once you chose the genres and the title of the game, you select a group you want to belong to and know who are your enemies.
The system alerts you when the game starts and sends you clues to help you finding what you need.
The goal of the game is to find a certain number of semacodes, that are placed in Venice.
The game ends when all the semacodes have been found or when the time finishes.
Semacodes
A semacode embeds a URL into a sort of barcode which looks like a dense crossword puzzle called the tag. The tag can be decripted by the right software and hardware and sends the user to that web address.
Goals
- play a real role game
- meet other people
