The mission: Your story in Copenhagen

The city is like an architectural buffet—Baroque towers, Viking-flavored city halls, all jammed onto one postcard. And you, an upcoming architect, are supposed to spend this Saturday on the couch. 

Instead, you use your day-off to find inspiration for a new Lakeside Pavilion. If you fail you are condemned to designing parking garages for the rest of your career. Armed with a sketchbook, one overworked imagination, you must ricochet from towers to domes to satisfy your greedy client.

Storytelling was not on par. It was written very poorly and with plotholes. Guiding towards the next segment was lacking. Clues were farfetched. Some clues weren’t visible enough, because of how the route was described. It simply didn’t bring us to the right places.
