She and her family, who have attended the festival on Randall's Island in the past, plan to visit the Long Island venue this year. "All she's into is unicorns and magical rainbows," Chen says. "My daughter always loved drawing, especially during COVID at home," says Shilrey Cheng of Manhattan, whose daughter Alena Chuchen, 7, is one of the featured children. A second LuminoCity festival is happening simultaneously in the Washington area, which is why children from those two urban areas were invited to participate, Chen says. Their drawings will be on signs beside each sculpture, Chen says. Six of the sculptures were created from drawings submitted children from New York and Washington, D.C. The majority of the lantern sculptures, which are illuminated from within, are new this year, Chen says. In the wildlife area, they’ll see a panda and eel. The website mentions Lumi themed drinks to light up your night at their bar. "Maybe one scary monster, the blue one," Chen says. 103 reviews of LuminoCity Festival There is no alcohol at this festival. In the holiday area, they will see a Christmas factory in which primarily friendly monsters are helping to prepare gifts.

This season, the LuminoCity festival comes to Long Island for the first time. "Last year was the most difficult year we’ve had," she says. This year’s Shine Again motto is a nod to coming out of the pandemic, and to light overcoming darkness, she says. The show’s mascot, Lumi, is an extraterrestrial shaped like a light bulb, for instance, meant to be a symbol of positive energy. Houses are decorated with colorful lanterns in hope for peace and forgiveness in the coming year.Ĭhen’s goal was to incorporate modern themes into traditional art, she says. 9, was inspired by Chen’s childhood memories of lantern light shows in China, where the lantern festival is celebrated in February or March, shortly after the Lunar New Year. "Ninety percent are families with kids." The Long Island location also has a more varied natural environment that allows the festival to be more "magical" and "fantastical," Chen says. It is a great opportunity to move to our target audience," Chen says. "The Town of North Hempstead came to us and invited us to Long Island.

And it has the manual, an inbuilt hint system but one with a twist. ![]() It has the little interconnecting puzzles. It has the physical model being whimsical and surprising. It’s my favourite bit because it includes everything that’s lovely about the game. You’ll get instructions for the dark room controls, and a picture of what the labels looked like originally. But then you have to figure out which chemicals to use, and the labels have fallen off into pieces! You have to jigsaw them together! If you get stuck, you can use the manual that the main character’s grandfather left her (although you have to solve a little maths puzzle to find the page you need). Getting them right means it changes the colour filters on the windows so you can develop the photos. Someone broke into it, and to find out who you have to go to its back room, which is a dark room, and figure out the controls. It has two rooms and would probably go for £1500 a month in London. It’s a tall old-timey camera, though, because of course. That is, the entire house is a camera, and it takes pictures of whoever comes through the door. You find a house that is its own security camera. My favourite bit of the game is near the start. And that city is a physical model, with the characters mapped onto it. Lumino city is a puzzle adventure where you navigate a little city that runs on all sorts of unusual machinery. I recently replayed Lumino City, for the purposes of following a joke recipe in it, and made a horrible lemon dish (it was lemony). One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. ![]()
