SKIPPING ON THE ZEBRA

SKIPPING ON THE ZEBRA

Paper

Two streets. A pedestrian-only one, a mixed use one.
Their intersection: tension, clash, danger.
How could you turn the antagonism among the different street users into a playful competition?
Here is a brand-new game. A simple and captivating idea: turning zebra crossing into an unconventional eye-catching chessboard.
Elderly men, respectable ladies, shy sweethearts, kids, and even a pair of policemen couldn’t help jumping on the blue, red and yellow squares.
Looking forward to trying it in your home town?
