noticings: the blog

Noticings is a game about noticing things around you. You can play it over here.

The rules will change and evolve over time, rewarding different ways of exploring and discovering thing. This blog helps to keep track of what changed, when.

Noticings is a thing made by Tom Taylor and Tom Armitage.

Weekly bonus, and your first noticing in a neighbourhood

Three very dedicated noticers got the weekly bonus, for noticing something every day for a week (Monday to Sunday). Well done to Knebworth Chap, russelldavies and Ben Terrett. You each got an extra 70 points. In fact, Knebworth Chap managed to combine this with the first noticing in a neighbourhood for a whopping 110 points on a single noticing.

We’re also awarding points for your first noticing in a neighbourhood. So even if someone else has beaten to you a place, you can still pick up some points if it’s your first noticing there. 10 points in fact, which seems reasonable.

And here’s a lovely noticing of a kite, trapped on overhead telephone cables, by Keith Bolland in New Zealand:
