Berlin Travel & Photo Meetup

📅 Date: 22 April
⏰ Time: 6:15 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Meeting Point: S Ostkreuz (outside Wiener Feinbäcker Heberer)
🎮 Challenge Duration: 1 hour shooting + 15 minutes scoring
📸 Max Photos: 15 per team
💰 Player Contribution: 2 Euros

Join me for a playful photo challenge where you’ll spend an hour exploring the neighborhood like you’re visiting it for the very first time.

We’ll wander past neon signs, street-art explosions, colorful corners, stairwells, murals, markets, and hidden details you normally walk right past. Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to:

### Capture Friedrichshain with fresh eyes — find colors, small surprises, and moments that a tourist would notice.

Anyone with a phone can join. Come solo or bring friends — we’ll make teams on the spot!

## 🕹 How the Challenge Works

6:15 PM – Meet at S-Ostkreuz

We’ll greet everyone, form teams (2–3 people), and explain the rules.

Start your walk — 1 hour of exploring + shooting

Turn on Tourist Mode and rediscover the neighborhood. Your team can submit up to 15 photos that best fit the theme. You can use one phone or combine photos from multiple team members.

15 minutes of scoring

Once time is up, we will gather at a cafe where teams will anonymously score photos from other teams based on creativity, theme fit, and overall vibe. Each team will score one photo from every other team.
