As part of Education Beyond Our Walls (EBOW), I wrote a messaging narrative game using the Hive Mechanic Program.

After having worked in Little Tokyo for a number of years, I was surprised to see that there wasn’t the same resources for historical education on this part of town. The goal was to have a passive way that visitors could learn more about the Japanese American roots in West Los Angeles. Together with the wonderful staff at Playful City Lab of American University and collaboration with the Los Angeles Public Library, I created the overarching frame for this game.

There is still so much I would like to add to conversations with Jack!
Please consider this a work in progress and check back soon!
