The majestic main branch of the New York Public Library is seeking 500 people to spend the night there on a scavenger hunt in late May designed to tap into their inner creativity and potential as they explore its miles of rare treasures.
The hunt, called “Find the Future: The Game,” was created for the library’s centennial celebration by Jane McGonigal, renowned for designing games that tackle real-world problems.
“We realized that if we could bring players face to face with these treasures, these world-changing objects from the past, they would be able to tap into their own world-changing potential,” said McGonigal, the author of the best-seller “Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World.”this is soooooooooooo freaking cool. this is the coolest idea ever. whoever is behind this is so so awesome. WOW
