Mission Statement

Encrypted City is a game that combines history, technology and geography. In the tradition of urban scavenger hunts and puzzles such as the MIT Mystery Hunt, Encrypted city scatters clues across the field of play, in the for on 2d barcodes that can be read with camera-equipped mobile devices. The barcodes provide instructions, further clues or collectible game tokens to aid the player's advancement towards the puzzle's solution.

Current implementations of this game include an indoors implementation at Parsons the New School for Design in New York, and another larger staging across lower Manhattan.
