Stage I:
This four-week collaboration project (Xinman Jiang, Xubai Li, and Summer Zheng) started with the members' respective visual exploration of the abandoned site. Each person developed the infographics/personal mapping.

Stage II:
For further interpretation on the site, we chose to incorporate found objects within the area to create an encrypted narrative of three fictional characters in the form of a board game.
The game set includes four components: an instruction card, a collection of imagery, a gaming template, and an abstract map of the real site. See detailed documentation below:

Map
Players would be expected to follow the patterns (on both the imagery and the template) and the quotes on the template, and then to match each imagery with the assigned narrative. For each image matched, players would gain better understanding of the characters and their life stories.
