A hand grips a glowing arcade joystick under blue and purple light, reflected in the controller’s glossy surface.

For three nights, a building in central Stockholm became a five-storey, playable arcade game.

To mark the launch of Kanal 5's show "Jagad", we rebuilt a classic top-down chase game onto the building itself: the windows became the blocks, the gaps between them became the streets. Players worked custom arcade controllers down on the pavement, hunting roaming celebrity avatars across the facade. Catch one and the whole road network flooded with your colour. High scores and player names were projected straight back onto the wall.

Brightly outlined windows turn a five-storey Stockholm facade into a glowing arcade game at night.

Made with Smash Studio and Platon Marko. I handled the game and real-time visuals, designed and built the physical arcade controllers and their instruction panels, and built the web version so anyone could play from a phone. Over three nights hundreds queued up, some to chase down their own avatar.
