Picture the Impossible: Are You Playing It Yet?

Many members of the RIT community have already begun playing http://www.picturetheimpossible.com, an ARG developed through a partnership with the RIT Lab for Social Computing and the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle with additional support from the IGM department. . That includes RIT President Bill Destler and his wife Rebecca Johnson, who participated in the scavenger hunt through the Neighborhood of the Arts last weekend. See if you can spot them in the photo gallery from the hunt!

Lots of RIT students submitted Photosynths for the Picture the Horses challenge, too—we had over 100 Photosynths submitted, most of which can be seen here.

If you haven’t joined yet, it’s not too late. New scavenger hunts and individual prize challenges are released each week, and the web games are playable for the full seven of the game. Please join us in playing, exploring, and learning about Rochester. Don’t forget that your participation benefits the Golisano Children’s Hospital, Wilson Commencement Park, and Foodlink. Turn your fun into funds for those in need!

Special thanks to second-year GD&D Masters student Joe Pietruch who designed several of the Flash games that went into the larger title, and to all of the IGM students, staff, and faculty who helped make this game a reality.
