Jugorie's Playa Puzzle Project
Jugorie's Playa Puzzle Project was an art installation in 2018. The project directed Burning Man participants to four puzzles located throughout the city, some in camps, some out on the playa. By solving all four of the puzzles Burners had the four pieces of information required to know the date and time and place to claim their prize!
The four piece of information were: 1) Which day (e.g. Thursday), 2) What time (e.g. 2:00 p.m.), 3) First coordinate (trash fence) and 4) Second coordinate (e.g. 11:00). With this info a participant new to show up at the trash fence at 11 on the city layout clock on Thursday at 2 p.m. and here they would meet us (the puzzle makes Stories and Juggernaught) and claim their prize.
