Follow the Signs
A conversational role-playing game aiming to foster genuine connection
Follow the Signs explores themes of war, political tensions, security, and insecurity - informed by the experience of living between Lithuania and Los Angeles. The game creates a time and space to support and be open to understanding each other's perspectives, so that we could make a change collectively.
Players climb a tree-shaped gameboard with rearrangeable layers, advancing higher as they engage with one another. The structure is both literal and symbolic: the higher you go, the deeper the conversation.
Cards were hand-painted and then stylized digitally in Photoshop and Illustrator. Ceramic game pieces represent the locations within the game world.
Exhibition materials and the rulebook were illustrated using watercolor paints, keeping the handmade quality consistent across all printed components.
Shown at the UCLA Sculpture Gallery as part of the Undergraduate Scholars Research Program Student Showcase.
