W_NDER is a game about rediscovering the spontaneity of urban exploration. Bring along a friend, partner, parent, or first date and get ready to experience the city with new eyes, ears, and noses. Call each other on the phone, walk fifteen meters apart, and let your stream of consciousness run wild as you wander and wonder.

The game, created by Lily Higgins and Ioana Lupascu, was born out of playing with social-distancing protocols to create new ways of interacting with the city and each other. W_NDER is a contemporary take on a Situationist dérive inspired by the COVID pandemic, as the game invites players to reinvent their daily walks through familiar public spaces. Players will go home with a pocket-sized W_NDER Playbook to keep the wonder alive long past the event.

Location: Meet us in the Wijkpark Oude Westen, next to tram stop Kruisplein | Look for the red and blue picnic blankets.
