Online Players and Street Players collaborate to find Uncle Roy&#8217;s office before being invited to make a year long commitment to a total stranger.The city is an arena where the unfamiliar flourishes, where the disjointed and the disrupted are constantly threatening to overwhelm us. It is also a zone of possibility; new encounters.Building on Can You See Me Now? the game investigates some of the social changes brought about by ubiquitous mobile devices, persistent access to a network and location aware technologies.&#8221;[1]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A handheld device that displays a map and can send and receive messages is given to the street players. Once outside, a message from Uncle Roy requests that they meet him in the park by the lake, which has been marked on the handheld map. Online players can help street players find<br \/>their way by sending private messages. Eventually, street players are directed to Uncle Roy\u2019s office and online players are invited to join them in a virtual office. &#8220;[2]<\/p>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blasttheory.co.uk\/projects\/uncle-roy-all-around-you\/\">http:\/\/www.blasttheory.co.uk\/projects\/uncle-roy-all-around-you\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2] Edward A.
