Wanderland is a co-designed alternate reality scavenger hunt, using a collaborative map as an interface to mediate between player’s movements and green thumb’s community garden network. An alternate reality game is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs trans-media storytelling to deliver a story that will be altered by player’s ideas or actions. Wanderland worked with three community gardens in the Lower East Side and had an archival research component focusing on the Puerto Rican heritage of the Lower East Side from 1965 to 1989. The aim of the project was to provide experiential learning for the positive mental health benefits of community gardens — as places for rest, connection to nature, and critical hubs for human connection among isolated city dwellers. The scavenger hunt as an art form also plays a role in preserving local histories.
