Have you ever spoken to a parking meter?
Probably not (unless of course you were really angry).
However, previously silent objects are waking up and looking for someone to chat to! Beginning in May, parking meters, lamposts, elevators and more in and around parkades and parking lots are coming to life and ready to have unique conversations with you! To join the conversation all you need is your mobile phone.
How to Play
Pick an object
- Look out for an object with a code on it.
- Say hello
- Send a text to 604.409.4498 and text "Hello” + object name + #code e.g. “Hello Parking Mter #MC3”.
- You’ll soon get a reply. Answer the object’s questions and learn what others on campus have to say!
