Some stencil artists created a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game using spraypainted sidewalk stencils: players start from one of two jumping off points and walk aroudn the neighborhood, making choices and following directions. It’s a love story, and if players do it right, then end up meeting.

BoingBoing has a link to an interesting idea.

It’s an interesting way of giving meaning to places – a process that happens all the time: you’ll never forget the place you lived your first years, the place you went to school to, the place you met your love …

All those places are loaded with stories. These stencils are a new take on that, by displaying those stories on the pavement and therefore making them visible to everyone – well, that is, if it was the concept to do so. But just making a maze without taking opportunity of the environment would be an awful waste, wouldn’t it?
