Can You See Me Now? (CYSMN?) is an urban chase game developed by Blast Theory and The Mixed Reality Lab in 2001.^[1] CYSMN? is a pervasive game, where performers on the streets of a city use handheld computers, GPS and walkie talkies to chase online players who move their avatars through a virtual model of the same town. CYSMN? was built in the Equator project on the EQUIP architecture.^[2]

CYSMN? was nominated for a BAFTA and won the Golden Nica for Interactive Art at the Ars Electronica,^[3] Linz, Austria in 2003.
