How to play Follow the Party Trail
Find your way to an imaginary picnic with friends. Follow a displayed arrow sequence using the direction controls. Each turn gives you one clear choice, forming a short imaginary route around the feeling you have selected.
Your starting point
Find your way to an imaginary picnic with friends.
The rules
Read the displayed arrow sequence. Press the direction controls in that exact order, one arrow at a time. Use the feedback to correct a new attempt.
A helpful approach
Read each arrow in order and connect it with its matching control. Treat the route as a sequence of small turns instead of one large guess. Notice a modest delight rather than waiting for a perfect day.
After the game
What makes a next step easier to take when a whole route feels uncertain? Which ordinary moment would you like to celebrate with someone who might have missed it?
There is no need to turn a small moment into a perfect performance. Play again if you want to explore it, or leave it here and take the thought into your day.
The feeling behind it
A burst of colour, a shared laugh, a tiny reason to celebrate. Joy can be loud, quiet, brief or completely unexpected.
A living music and dance tradition inspires this celebration; frevo is not a synonym for joy.
Read our joy story, inspired by Frevo in Recife, Brazil. The UNESCO: Frevo, performing arts of the Carnival of Recife provides the source context.
