Today's Theme
Echoes of the East
Tap to learn more →
Echoes of the East is May’s original Wildcard theme from the 2024–2025 cycle. It explores the influence, resilience, and cultural contributions of AAPI communities while reflecting on the parallels that exist across marginalized experiences — particularly within Black culture. Through themes of identity, tradition, perception, and connection, the work invites participants to consider how culture travels, evolves, and resonates across communities in ways both visible and unspoken.

Participation is the Point.
Wildcard turns participation into value through themed prompt cards that physically build the artwork.
One rule to know
Each puzzle piece has multiple prompt cards.
ALL of them must be completed and pinned.
If one is missing, that piece stays unplaced.

What to Expect During this Event

Want to keep them for future events? Save them digitally before you leave.Use Save Vibe Tokens for later before you leave.
You can use the buttons below at any time to get or save your Vibe Tokens.
This will walk you through prompts and puzzle pieces.
How the puzzle is built
The puzzle is built collectively. Everyone is completing prompts at the same time — racing the clock to reveal as much of the image as possible.
What's happening right now
Each puzzle piece has multiple prompt cards. They can be completed by different people. Only when ALL of them are finished does that puzzle piece get placed on the wall.
One missing prompt means the piece stays hidden.Every prompt finished before it ends brings the group closer to revealing the full image.
We may place every piece. We may not. The image tells the story of participation.
Complete as many as you can until the time runs out!

How to Complete a Prompt
Choose a face-down prompt card beside any puzzle piece. Each card will ask you to:
Complete the prompt, then pin your card inside the outlined space for that puzzle piece.
What happens next
When all prompt cards for a piece are completed, the artwork can be placed.
If any are missing, the piece stays unplaced.
The timer is running
A shared timer runs during the experience. When time ends, the progress determines how much of the puzzle is revealed.
The final image reflects participation, not performance.
