Kipple: Found Object Stickers

Kipple is a collecting game for people who notice things.

Every day it gives you one prompt. Photograph something that has clearly given up. Photograph something held together with tape. Photograph something that should not be on a roof. Then you go out and look.

When you find it, you photograph it. Kipple cuts it out into a sticker, has a go at working out what it is, and writes it a small card, the sort you'd read next to an exhibit in a county museum. The sticker goes into your cabinet with the date and the place. The cabinet fills up. That is the whole thing.

FOURTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING

Goblin Core. Y2K. Corporate Hell. Passive Aggressive. Blueprint. Duck Energy. VHS Horror. Held Together. Feral Furniture. Nan's House. Not From Here. Getting On With It. Probably Nothing. Hang On.

Each theme is twelve prompts. Three finds in, it becomes a sticker pack you can send in WhatsApp, and it grows with every one after.

SCAN WHATEVER YOU LIKE

You don't have to wait for the prompt. Point Kipple at anything: a bollard, a Toby jug, a sofa somebody has left by a river, a canoe that has ended up in a tree. It identifies it and files it. It is usually right. It is occasionally very wrong, which is better.

THE EXCHANGE

Every find earns XP. Spend it at the Exchange on stickers you haven't found yet, ninety-six of them, sorted by theme. XP only, no cash. Nobody needs a frog in a bucket. You will swap for the frog in a bucket.

WHAT KIPPLE DOES NOT HAVE

No account. No password. No feed, no followers, no likes, no numbers going up next to a stranger's face. Your collection lives on your phone and nowhere else. The only way anything leaves is if you send it to somebody yourself.
