First Innovation Lab with Urban Experience Ruhr!

On the 4th of May, we met up for a special playtesting with our project partners the Urbanisten, Bande der Gestaltung and selected experts at the c/o Raum in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf. Here, we tested and discussed our “green” analog game-prototype for Urban Experience Ruhr for the first time.

During a 60-minute stroll through the neighborhood, particpants completed various tasks that invited them to explore the Ückendorf district and in Gelsenkirchen through the lens of urban greenery. The invited experts were Nora Scholpp from Klima.Werk, Matthias Krentzek of mxr storytellling and Daniel Parlow from the Urbanisten. Afterwards, we gathered to reflect on the gameplay and discuss a central question: How can the experience be translated into the digital realm?

The particpants’ feedback was valuable and provided us with important impulses for future development. For further information, please refer to the new project website: https://urbanexperience.ruhr/ 

We are looking forward to the next round!
