A high-tech game will hit the cobblestone streets of Dumbo on July 18, where partici- pants posing as a team of detectives will comb the area for clues that will help build a case for historic preserva- tion. The free role- playing fun is intended to get people looking at their surroundings more closely, said one of the designers. “It’s all about how to Photo by Stefano Giovannini get people interested in space again,” said Adelle Lin, who developed the game with fellow designer Alex Garkavenko. “We’re really interested in gentrification and our game is a playful take on this thing that’s (718) 260–2500 July 11–17, 2014 happening everywhere.” The Brooklyn Paper’s essential guide to the Borough of Kings In “Who’s That Loft,” players will carry ultra- violet torches and scour the neighborhood look- ing for markings made with invisible ink. When the light uncovers one of the stamps — which might be placed on building walls, interesting architectural elements, or even on the ground — players snap a photo of it on their phone. Each uncovered marking represents a clue about the history of the site, which will help to convince a fictional developer to preserve it, explained Lin. “They’ve hired us investigators to find the history and the characteristics that make the place unique,” she said. After collecting all the clues in a given area, players go to the game organizers, receive a puzzle piece, and move on to the next area. The puzzle pieces fit together to form a pho- tograph of an actual Dumbo building, with some historic facts on the back. “Who’s That Loft” is part of the Come Out and Play festival, a night of innovative street games that will take place beneath the Man- hattan Bridge archway and at other locations around New York City. Other games at the Dumbo site will include “Musclebound Glory,” in which participants compete to come up with the best ’80s action movie-style zingers, and “EXO: Arena,” where players use their iPhones to play laser-tag — minus the lasers. “Who’s That Loft” (beneath the Manhat- tan Bridge archway off Anchorage Place be- tween Pearl and Plymouth streets in Dumbo, www.comeoutandplay.org).
