An adventure for the City
A location-based experience that invited players to uncover hidden narratives woven into the heart of a city’s financial district. Blending digital interaction with real-world exploration, it challenged participants to reflect on their personal relationship with money, power, and systemic crisis.

About the project
Adventure 1 was a site-specific experience by Coney, inviting players to explore their relationship with the financial system – and the crisis that surrounds it. Set in the financial district of a city, the adventure was first created for London, with the potential to be adapted for other urban centres.
To begin, players exchanged emails with a mysterious associate in the days leading up to the event. Then, armed with a smartphone, a pair of headphones, and a sharp sense of curiosity, they set off into the heart of the city for an experience that blurred the line between reality, story, and systemic critique.
