Jane McGonigal to Find the Future at the New York Public Library W/ #QR Codes



Gaming guru and Reality is Broken author Jane McGonigal is organizing a game to commemorate the New York Public Library's centennial celebration. On May 20th, 500 gamers will spend the night in the main branch of the library on 42nd Street to complete 100 "quests" designed by a McGonigal-directed team.


The 500 participants (who will apply to be chosen) will break into smaller teams and be sent to retrieve artifacts from the library's collections. They'll prove they've found them by scanning a QR code with their phones, and then they'll be asked to draft a document of their own inspired by the artifact they found. (Read More)
