Imagine an &#8220;IRL RPG&#8221; that transforms the city into both your stage and your game board. Controlled through a mobile app, players navigate a digital map overlaid onto actual city locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For us, the adventure kicked off right in front of Uni Graz, and depending on our choices, the story branched out across different locations in the city! Our 3-day playtesting journey looked like this:<br>Day 1: First playtest and initial feedback discussion.<br>Day 2: A deep-dive session exploring the creators&#8217; vision, what worked well, and brainstorming key improvements.<br>Day 3: Back to the streets for a second playtest to see our feedback and the new improvements live in action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are incredibly grateful to have been a part of this process and to help shape such an immersive urban performance. We can&#8217;t wait to see what the future holds for this project! Want to learn more?
