World of Games


The Raccoonists enjoy games, and in particular we enjoy games which concievably have no end or winner, and are played purely for their own sake and the enjoyment of the players. We also like interesting things being done with urban spaces. Recently in the neighborhood of some figures of the Raccoonist movement some children had produced this hopscotch game which winds around an entire residential block. The game is composed of a little over 2000 squares and ends with a slight overlap with the game's first few squares. This game is potentially a hopscotch loop where one turn can go on forever if its players ignore the traditional rules of hopscotch (which, as well all know, is a pretty boring game under normal circumstances).

Anyways, we admire the endurance and imagination of the creators and players of this version of hopscotch. Kudos

now heres some pictures of the game
