Can You See Me Now? is a chase game played online and on the streets.

Players are dropped at random locations into a virtual map of downtown Chicago. Tracked by satellites, Blast Theory's runners appear online next to your player. The runners use handheld computers showing the positions of online players to guide them in the chase.

Use your arrow keys to flee down the virtual streets, send messages and exchange tactics with other online players. An audio stream from Blast Theory's walkie talkies lets you eavesdrop on your pursuers: getting lost and out of breath on the real streets.

If a runner gets within 5 metres of you, a sighting photo is taken and your game is over.

Can You See Me Now? in Chicago has been made possible by the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art with support from the British Council USA
