The Murder Game

Union Square, NYC
Various dates, 2023
Since America ranks #1 in firearm homicides in high-income countries with populations over 10 million, we made a matching game to celebrate our accomplishment! The rules of the Murder Game are simple - a player flips over the blood drops to try to match the locations and body-counts of various mass shooting events! The winner gets a letter to a replublican governmnet person (take your pick)
