Instant Carnival is a role-play game that allows you to take part in Carnival event with your friends or other groups of players. Its suited especially for tourists, but everyone can enjoy it: dont worry about your shyness or to be recognized because you can get a paper mask for free in the most important information centres in Venice. The only requirements are a mobile phone and be in the right mood for it. I designed it with Giuseppe Burdo, Matteo Catacchio and Kui Wang.
