So my first challenge was to display a game in the city through the relativly new QR codes.


'''Step 1'''
'''Step 1''' Displaying the game
 
I chose the neighborhood of Beyoğlu to display the game. This area is well known for its young 24/7 life. How? The game was linked to a QR code sticker. People were supposed to scan the code with their smartphones and inmediatly start playing the game. The whole neigborhood of Beyoğlu was spammed with the codes and the people were starting to get very courious about them.
 
 
'''Step 2''' Getting feedback
 
After a week of the "QR codes ehh-Spam" I started to get involved with the people who were scanning and playing on the street. I asked for they opinions and weather they would like to be part of the game.
They were all very open with me even if they did not know me. Almost all of them loved the game and wanted to keep on playing. The interesting thing came when I asked them to be part of the game, with their own language. To my surprise many of them, even if they were born in Turkey, told me to do it in another language such as Armenian, Greek, even Kurdish. And this is how the second part of the game came up.
