Snakes and Ladders is a game that symbolizes life’s journey and
its element of chance.
In this game, where we move forward by rolling dice, we sometimes climb up and sometimes slide back down; it teaches us to enjoy the journey itself.
We are adapting this traditional game to the story of Beykoz Kundura. By designing shoes that climb the ladders and journey cards, we will learn about Beykoz Kundura’s history and memory through play and design.
Finally, we will try out the new game we have designed by playing it together.
