Can
You See Me Now? is a game that happens simultaneously
online and on the streets of Cologne’s Kalk quarter.
Players from anywhere in the world can play online in a virtual
city against members of Blast Theory. Tracked by satellites,
Blast Theory's runners appear online next to your player on
a map of the city centre. On the streets, handheld computers
showing the positions of online players guide the runners
in tracking you down.
With up to 20 people playing online at a time, players can
exchange tactics and send messages to Blast Theory. An audio
stream from Blast Theory's walkie talkies allowed you to eavesdrop
on your pursuers: getting lost and out of breathe on the streets
of the city.
Blast
Theory’s base of operations is built up in the Halle
Kalk. From here you can play online and a large screen projection
makes it possible for everyone else to watch. A curious crowd
has the opportunity to observe the runners’ actions
in the streets of Kalk.
