Brooklyn’s Art of Play ($15,000 bird) and the viral Issey Miyake kindergarten are 1 block apart.

So I built a game connecting them: Atlantic Crossing.

Help Kelly Clarkson go undercover + use @PabloTorre’s security footage to buy the bird.

Play, lore recap & how I made it 👇

[deuxmoi @deuxmoiworld]

Paul Rudd was spotted visiting Art of Play, the Brooklyn curiosity shop that recently made headlines following Kelly Clarkson’s very public dispute with the store. 📸@BackgridUS

Looking forward to the read 📚

Here's how I made this game:

I recreated the corner of Atlantic Ave & Hicks St as an Animal Crossing-style 3D neighborhood in a single HTML file, built in @Antigravity with @Google's Gemini 4 Argon and hosted on @GoogleAIStudio.

Gemini 4 Argon:

🧱 Wrote a custom 2.5D WebGL engine from scratch (zero 3D libraries!), then spun up a headless browser to screenshot its own builds & critique its own 3D geometry

🍌 Used Nano Banana (Google's image generation model) to generate reference sheets for the Cobble Hill storefronts and characters

🗣️ Built a real-time Web Audio synthesizer so every character speaks Animal Crossing "Animalese" gibberish

📼 Added an in-game 2D security monitor with a 400% PTFO Forensics "ENHANCE" mode to zoom in on the $15,000 price tag

🎬 Scored, edited, and voiced the movie trailer using Lyria 3.5 + Gemini TTS - all from a raw screen recording of me playing!

🕹️ Play here: https://t.co/tCfHoMFwkS on mobile or desktop! GET THAT BIRD!

[Grace @gracepursuits]

As dear fate would have it, the Issey Miyake kindergarten is literally a 1-minute walk down the street from the Art of Play bird shop.

🏆 To win Atlantic Crossing, you need to help Kelly Clarkson buy that $15,000 bird 🐦 💸

Borrow Issey Miyake to raise your clout, and find Pablo’s security tape footage to get the bird.
