Rainbow Paths

A public art installation of mini-games and colourful branching paths.

Designed by Helen Kwok & Chad Toprak.

Embedded Mini-Games

Bespoke and site-specific mini-games that encourage curiosity and discovery. Rules are embedded into the playspace, allowing for ambient play. No additional devices required.

Socially distanced

Each mini-game is placed at least 1.5m apart from one another. The games can be played solo, and no physical touch or body contact is required to play the games.

Modular & Adaptable

The installation can be designed and adjusted to fit a variety of spaces, from large plazas to short narrow laneways. We simply need a flat ground surface to install onto.
