City Loop terms of use
These terms cover taking part in City Loop, the Slow Made City game. They are written in plain language. If anything is unclear, write to us and we will explain it.
Version 2026-09-v1
1. What City Loop is
City Loop is a game built on the Slow Made City content. You collect points by reading articles and by scanning QR codes at the places taking part in the current residency. Your points appear on your profile and in that residency's leaderboard.
The game is free. Taking part is voluntary and you can stop at any time.
2. Account
You sign in with an emailed magic link or with a Google account. We store no passwords. The account is personal: do not share it, and do not create more than one for yourself.
You can ask us to delete your profile at any time. Write to us from the address you signed in with.
3. Points and leaderboard
Points are awarded for reading an article, for checking in at a place, and for an approved photo. There are limits so that it stays fair: one place gives a point once a day, and one article counts once.
We may remove points or close an account for clear abuse, for example automated scanning or several accounts belonging to one person. If you think we got it wrong, write to us.
The leaderboard shows only the alias you chose yourself. Your email address never appears publicly.
4. Photos
A photo you upload is reviewed by the editorial team and may be rejected without explanation. By uploading it you confirm that the photo is yours and that you are entitled to share it, and you give us the right to show it on the site and on the Slow Made City channels in connection with the game.
Do not upload photos of identifiable people without their agreement.
5. Residencies and partners
Individual seasons of the game are made together with partner brands. The partner is always named on the residency page. Taking part in a partner's season requires no purchase.
Prizes: there are none announced at present. If a future season has prizes, separate rules will be published in advance for it, and these terms will not replace them.
6. Email
By registering for City Loop you accept that Slow Made City may email you at the address you signed in with: the Slowmade Letter once a week, and messages related to the game. You can opt out at any time from your profile, or with one click in any letter.
Opting out is in one place and takes effect immediately: the "Unsubscribe me" button on your profile. Every letter also carries an unsubscribe link. Opting out affects neither your points, nor your profile, nor your participation in the game.
What we keep in connection with this, and for how long, is described in the Privacy policy.
7. Changes
We may change these terms. For a material change we will update the version at the top and show a notice on your profile. If you do not agree with a change, you can stop taking part and ask us to delete your profile.
8. Contact
Write to us through the contact form. We answer questions about the game, about your data, and about unsubscribing from the email.
