QR Codes in New York's Central Park

The World Park was an Arbor Day event that gave participants an interactive tour of New York's Central Park. QR codes (Parkodes) were placed along the path route, each one offering a chance to interact with a trivia question. The questions were broken up into categories and separated by color. The "Parkcodes" let users discover things about Central Park that they never knew. A map and scorecard were handed out before entry.

Pop Culture (Pink) - Discover scenes from movies, tv shows and concerts that have been filmed or performed on along the park path.

    Hello,
    You can also enjoy some more of the experience that you probably didn't get to see—right here: http://www.theworldpark.com/press.html

    Unfortunately, a lot of the Parkodes we're stolen, broken, or damaged on Friday and Saturday, so we wanted to leak the great content we had.

    We will be gathering feedback from participants of The World Park over the next few days, hopefully you'll allow us to post the link here.

    Thanks for playing! The World Park team.
