Step into the shoes of a citizen from a megacity of the future in this experimental role-playing game.
RaaraLab invites attendees on a series of interactive walks set in a Torontonian sci-fi future. Be a part of the first audience to test this experimental game!
In order to join this unique test group, you’ll need a smartphone, a set of headphones, and a keen curiosity to explore the early stages of this unconventional new game.
ABOUT THE WORLD OF NUVILLE
In the world of Nuville, you live in a future where the planet’s population has found refuge from the climate crisis in a megacity built by artificial intelligence. Built on robotic intelligence, productivity is the name of the game – but at what cost to humanity?
While Nuville appears to be the high-tech city of our dreams, humans have become disconnected from city-building, history, the environment, and each other. Wanting to reconnect, you join a collective of citizens-turned-hackers, called “Hacker D-Central,” who want to hack the system and make Nuville more human.
THREE TOURS
On these tours, you’ll test a live-action-role-playing game directed through your phone. You’ll role-play with fellow attendees as Nuville citizens who are on a mission to hack the city’s algorithm. You’ll be directed to complete a series of tasks that challenge the flow of urban life by rebuilding your relationship to place, presence and humanness.
