Schiphol etched a fly into its urinals in the early ’90s. Thirty years later, men are still trying to kill it.

THE PEEKER: Looks around. Looks down. Never stand next to him.

When you pick the urinal next to the guy on a call: Congratulations. You’re in the meeting now.

“So… how’s work going?” Sir. We are at a urinal.

Answering emails mid-stream: Harmless. Just don’t read over his shoulder.

Haneda has been named the world’s cleanest airport 11 years running. The cleaner behind it, the transparent toilets of Shibuya and the film they inspired.

The game

Peekers, callers, a dad with a very curious son, a cleaner who has seen everything. Every room is a tiny logic puzzle with a social cost. Start at Amsterdam Schiphol, aim for the fly, and work your way round the world.
