Trail Partner
My story began in the centre of Brno, at a place well known to me as a local. At a place where I have walked a thousand times before and hundreds of time just ran through. Since the day I had my dark blue adventure, the place has never been the same as before. It has got a new taste, a new shape and a new sound.
My name is Barb and this is the story of my meeting with Peter. A friend who opened my eyes by showing me how to percieve the world even when my eyes are shut.
We invite you together with the outdoor puzzlehunt Darkblue Adventure for a little walk through Brno. A Brno that you don’t know at all or have only noticed peripherally. Brno in another reality, not virtual, but very real. Perhaps the most real it can be.
The game was created in 2017 for TIC Brno as a promotion of the Dark Blue Festival. It is also intended for disabled people (blind and visually impaired).
