A digital archive of 169 games, performances, and playful provocations designed to be staged in unexpected public locations — escalators, parking lots, hotel hallways, library stacks. Most are explained in a paragraph and a diagram and are free to use; the value is in the implicit argument that you can manufacture delight in pretty much any built environment if you bring the rules with you.
