The Anchorage Register: Kotahena

Kotahena looks like just another Colombo neighbourhood until you start reading it properly. Join a fictional archaeological society mission to understand the water-damaged harbour register that restoration workers at an old Dutch church uncover. The records are not about cargo lists but about the faiths that the community has held onto.

For curious adults who want real history, this multi-faith, maritime corner of Colombo rewards close attention with stories that are rarely shared.

Een bericht van Ahila Thillainathan

“I began discovering Colombo's stories during walks with my mother in her last years. I discovered hidden gems in plain sight, in our own neighbourhood. I've been exploring and uncovering them across different neighbourhoods of this fascinating city ever since. Welcome to Colombo Untold.”

De missie: Jouw verhaal in Colombo

Ten entries are unfinished. Uncover the stories at each stop and complete register. The neighbourhood becomes yours to understand.

Please make sure that you are appropriately attired if you wish to pause the game and visit the temples or churches included in the stops.
