Not to give any spoilers away but this was a fun and meaningful experience that turns your expectations of a game upside down! Great opportunity for reflection through the mode of a game. This is the perfect activity for a rainy day! Highly recommend as a date activity.
Scarce City was based around a simple activity of catching lights but it made me and my friends reflect on our intentions, actions and their effects on ourselves as well as the world around us. It seems to ask the question: is there a different way to get to a better future for everyone? I also want to praise the game design, sound design and overall environmental design as it made for a very immersive and fun experience. I also appreciated the after-activity discussion where we got to see our game performance results and learn more about how this activity came to be!
Experientially wonderful. Thoughtful use of lighting, technology to communicate important questions. Stretches beyond climate or sustainability to also question human psychology. Time at the end of the event for discussion is a good feature.
This is a very thought-provoking and philosophical interactive experience. The game was fun and requires good observational skills and team work amongst different caves, otherwise you'll end up like Kenneth's RED cave. The post-game discussion was illuminating (haha) and the donut theory will stick with you long after you walk out of the gallery.
Highly recommend it! Not what I expected it to be, in a very positive and good way! The creators definitely thought it through :D Great for going with friends or even exploring it alone :D
We had a fun time. It was an interesting way to present an idea. Amazing installation! Thought invoking ! Go for the show to enjoy it!
