This morning at the Botanical Garden, a stranger and I had to collaborate to figure out the timing of two independent sprinklers in order to cross without getting wet. We got stuck in the middle, and escaped with what felt like a second to spare. That made my day.pic.twitter.com/a3bdCzCJFX

Later I found out more of the garden essentially turned into a video game. The level design was pretty inspired. Some sprinklers gave you some warning…pic.twitter.com/ni8C1yDjxw

Some would just try to scare you from the distance with pretty surreal sounds.pic.twitter.com/4RyCnffZYx

Others would collaborate, the partner catching you as you were waiting for the original one to rotate away.pic.twitter.com/BLoFBdoAEV

And this one was my favourite, chasing you through the trees, getting you just when you thought you were safe.pic.twitter.com/RfJhzPU7gv

I don’t know how often this happens or whether this is wasteful or not – but this made for a surprisingly playful morning. Has there ever been a video game like this? The mechanics felt like they could be really fun.
