the game of noticing the world around you
What are noticings?
Noticings are interesting things that you stumble across when out and about.
For example: perplexing pavement markings, a discarded photo, and a ceramic space invader are all noticings.
Players are awarded points for things like spotting the first thing in a neighbourhood, or noticing something every day for a week.
How to play
You play Noticings by uploading your photos to Flickr, tagged with 'noticings' and geotagged with where they were taken. We've got a page with the rules and some instructions to help you out.
Each turn is a day, and at 3pm GMT every day photos from the previous day are imported from Flickr and the scores calculated.
Noticings aren't very transient things, like people, and you should only take one photo of each thing you spot. If in doubt, explore other people's noticings to get the idea.
Explore
Over the last week there have been 304 noticings, from places like Civic Center, Los Angeles, NW Portland, Portland, and Motherwell.
