Order of Byzantium
Created for Journey to The End of the Night, an urban street game played annually in cities all over the world. Runners playing Journey race to be the first player to reach 6 checkpoints spread throughout the city before heading to the finish line, all while being pursued by Chasers, whose goal is to tag the Runners in order to turn them into Chasers as well. Private transportation is prohibited, and special rules surround the use of public transit.
The Order of Byzantium was one of the checkpoints where Runners needed to obtain the blessing of a church dedicated to bureaucracy. Runners had to confess and atone for their bureaucratic sins. Nearly 1,000 participants moved through the experience over the course of 4 hours.
