Game 3 is a participatory
mapping of sites for transformation, action, respite and social
engagement in Göteborg.
The format is publicly installed
and ongoing participation is welcome – 30 locals and
new-arrivals to the city have contributed since November 2002.

Participation in Game 3
is unguided and anonymous, structured by ad-hoc responses
to printed questions. Each of the 5 questions has a color,
such that subsequent responses placed on the map might start
to visually indicate patterns or opportunities.
Combining
methods from both Game 1 and Game 2, Game 3 concentrates on
immersing participants in a fictional story using a playful
setup and resulting in real world information and participation.
Game 3 provides a public forum for sharing personal stories. |

| We learned
from the yellow cards – which asked participants what
they would change about a place – that there could be
a general need for increasing the standard of living, opportunities
for social response, and interaction inside the community.
Responses on the pink cards pointed out a common border between
good and evil inside a local high school and along a downtown
street that represents a transition between culture and capital.
The green cards, however, indicated that some of our language
can be misinterpreted and may not be totally successful –
responses from these cards are much less personal than the
other cards and had the least amount of participation. |

Results from
Game 3 were gathered on two levels, on the one hand, visual
impression through color patterns that indicated common behavioral
practices and opinions, on the other hand, individual and
imaginative stories about real-life places.
