Digital Street Game is a hybrid game of misadventure set on the streets of New York. It's a battle for turf, a contest of wills - in short - an excuse to explore the city.
Players compete for turf by performing and documenting 'stunts' on the physical streets of New York in order to claim territory on a virtual map. Stunts are comprised of a random combination of 3 elements: 1) an object commonly found in the city (e.g. bodega) 2) a street game (e.g. stickball) and 3) a wildcard/urban situation (e.g. happy hour). Players interpret these elements as they wish, then stage and photograph their stunt in order to claim a spot on the map. The more stunts players perform the more turf they claim. But of course some players may want to compete for the same territory. In order to hold on to territory, players' stunts must score high with the rest of the game community.
How to Play
Go to the site and register, select an intersection to claim and get your randomly generated stunt. From there add your own ingredients (friends, mischief, whatever) to pull it off. Photograph your stunt in progress and upload to the site to claim your turf. Repeat as necessary.
When to Play
The game can be played at any time. There's no official beginning or ending. In other words it's ongoing.
