Players will distribute virtual resources from prosperous areas to areas suffering from hunger by transporting them in the physical space of Washington Square Park.

Along the way, players will encounter civil strife, natural disasters, and other obstacles to overcome in order to help those in need.

Lisa Elkin is a mathematician from Canada & a current graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center. She thinks games are a phenomenal medium for social impact.
Elkin will be participating in the event and we will follow her as she goes through the different stages.
The challenge for Elkin will be to engage New Yorkers in the game and make them think about global hunger.Will it work?
