A live map of real-world runs, parades, and festivals. Walk into one, and every story Backyard tells there is about the event happening around you, not just the block's usual history.
Real zones, sized to scale — click a pin to see the event and the exact area where its narration takes over.
The most significant real events happening worldwide, ranked by real-world impact
Each event gets its own zone on the map, shown above as the shaded circle around a pin. Walk through one, and every story Backyard narrates there ties into that event, not the block's usual history, so a walk through a parade route or festival grounds is actually about the parade or festival.
An event zone's stories change as the event itself unfolds, so walking through it before, during, and after tells a different part of the story each time.
