The MNY typography colour 1 (2).png

They are hiding all around us. 

​

Some are tiny, almost impossible to see. Others are enormous, bigger than imaginable.

 

They are camouflaged on the side of skyscrapers and hiding in small scratches on park benches.

​

And they are abundant. 

​

Who are they? And why are they here?

​

The MNY is a participative-AR game where children seek non-human entities hiding in plain sight on the streets of their city. Players (6-11 years of age) snap photos, draw personas directly onto their digital image and release them to change the way we all see our city.

​

Moving through the RMIT city campus, the landscape becomes increasingly alive. Child players locate MNY made by other children and experience their drawings as a kind of virtual graffiti - a collective take-over that preferences children's ways of moving, seeing and being in public domains.​

​

The MNY is launching at Melbourne Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Games Week on the 4 & 5 October 2025.
