It becomes a mark

Its gates are where everyone starts.

Each gate on this path was given by a person or a business, and the giver's name is written on it. Now the gates are a mark: draw over them, or match them with your camera.

The reveal

Same gates. Everyone's story.

Everyone who stands here makes their own take on the same mark. Add yours and the reveal plays them all, one becoming the next.

Example takes. Generated examples. The reveal stays locked until you add yours.

Illustrative: the shops inside the circle are where an offer can send people.

Only here

About 200 meters around the gates.

Its mark unlocks within about 200 meters (650 feet) of the gates. Unlocking it isn't the same as photographing the gates: you take it by matching your camera to it, or by drawing over it. Anywhere else, it stays locked.
