Journey to the End of the Night
Starts Where: Streeterville
Ends Where: Co-Prosperity Sphere 3219 S Morgan St
How much: free!

To describe the game, Journey to the End of the Night is a one-night chase-race that spans 7-8 miles of the city.  We will be staging teams of performance artists at 6 locations between Streeterville and Bridgeport to serve as checkpoints for players to pass through / rest up.  While traveling from checkpoint to checkpoint, players (wearing blue ribbons) are trying to escape 'chasers' (wearing red ribbons) - if they are tagged, they put on a red ribbon and pursue other players for the remainder of the night.  Between 50%-75% of our players are expected to make it to the finish line anywhere between 9PM and midnight.  The game is adventurous, high-energy, gruelling and cathartic. 

Journey to the End of the Night is a game we use to reintroduce players to their own city and to 'psychogeography' (reinventing the way you live and move in contrast to urban planning).  All our projects are presented with a zero-budget, by die-hard volunteers, and are absolutely free to play.  See other games we run at www.chicag0.org <http://www.chicag0.org> <http://www.chicag0.org>  and www.paragoogle.com <http://www.paragoogle.com> <http://www.paragoogle.com> .
