Finding the Eight Immortals

Stamp collecting game, 2019

Chinatown, Vancouver

In collaboration with eight Chinatown local shops and culture venues

Finding the Eight Immortals is a stamp collecting game to mobilize the public into Chinatown communities. The public is encouraged to visit Chinatown and collect all eight stamps from various collaborative venues to redeem a limited-edition signed print of the mural Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. One side, the business is potentially having more customers. on the other side, the public can find this game helpful as it gives them recommendations of places to visit, get familiarized with the Chinatown neighbourhood and meet the people running these businesses.

Treasure Green Tea 妙品馨茶莊

Bamboo Village 竹家莊
