Picasso’s Pi

Description:

Picasso’s Pi is a world of art and sound and adventure. Part scavenger hunt part homage to Pablo Picasso, this virtual world is built around the exploration of the environment through hidden items scattered about the globe. The items are taken directly from four of Picasso’s most famous paintings. An audio clue is attached to each painting to provide the necessary info to track the items down. Once an item is located it must be brought back to the painting. Every building, every leaf, and even the moon is inspired by that great painter. Picasso would probably make fun of us for trying to capture his work in such a medium, he was a nasty old man, but we are nonetheless proud of evolving such great works to this virtual, interactive realm.
