“Hello Lamp post”

Bristol’s Playable City award encourages creatives to invent ways to get people to support, explore and enjoy the city, and this year’s winner does exactly that. “Hello Lamp Post” is part game, part story which people interact with using the unique codes found on benches, bus stops and post boxes. Objects are “woken” by texting the code to the Playable City phone number which then triggers a series of questions and exchanges between player and object. The players’ responses are then stored in a database and served back as questions and conversations to other people. The public objects and street furniture of Bristol will come to life on 15th July and be interactive throughout the Summer. Your kids will never be bored again. http://www.hellolamppost.co.uk/
