Synchroni-cities is a simultaneous urban exploration quest playing with the idea of creating "multiplaces" (sets of synonymous places that have the same definition: the same trail leads to them).
The game takes place in the real world (in different cities of different countries) and the internet.
The concept: "A trail can lead to many places. Places a given trail leads to define a multiplace."
Gamers have to subscribe to the game website to be able to play. This is how the game unfolds:
The player receives a trail to complete. Each trail is represented by a "flag", and before starting his journey, the player has to create the flag of the trail. The player has to go out in the real world and complete the trail. The player is required to document his trail by uploading texts and images telling the story of his journey. The final photographs belonging to a trail completed by different players form sets. Each set of places defines a multiplace. Players are also encouraged to submit new trails and rate other's completed trails.
The duration of the game is 9 days. The game winners will be awarded prizes consisting of objects from other cities participating in the game (having a local specific character).
