JOURNEY TO THE END OF
THE NIGHT - CHICAGØ 2010 for the next Journey to the End of the Night |
Read stories posted by players this year in the SFØ Praxis, or just look at players' pictures. Video footage from ChicagØ 2010 will eventually be posted. Until then, you can still watch these videos from ChicagØ 2009: | Journey to the End of the Night is a free street game of epic proportion, presented twice now in Chicago by CGØ. It is a pursuit across the city in 6 parts: players will try to make it through a series of checkpoints, while avoiding being caught by chasers. Those who fall will become chasers themselves, rising to pursue their former friends and allies. No skates, no bikes, no cars, just your feet and the good old public transportation.

Steven Sweeney, the first player to arrive at the finish line (71 minutes) with a complete map took home the RUNNER TROPHY: CHASER AWARDS All Chasers who arrived at the finish line with at least one catch received a BADGE OF VALOR.
