DarkBus website: four takes on Lantern Road
All four are variations on the one you liked: warm lantern amber, the logo's serif lettering, and the bus's route telling the story. Each is the whole site and the Investigator app together, so there's nothing separate to log into. Click around like a visitor would. They all work on phones too. On a computer, use Phone view to see the mobile version. The content is sample content and the photos are placeholders.
B1: Lantern Road
The one you picked, unchanged. Big centered logo, a live banner across the top, and the route as a dotted road running down the page.
B2: Lantern Trail
A blend of Lantern Road and Haunted Map. The centered logo between flickering lanterns, a faded forest with abandoned buildings, and the route shown on the old map beside a dotted trail of stops.
B3: Field Journal
The logo becomes a large masthead at the top of every page. Aged-paper journal entries, typewriter notes, a rubber-stamped "Live now", and the route as a handwritten logbook.
B4: Haunted Map
An old, stained map with the bus's route drawn across it. Every stop is a pin you can click, and the next stop (or the live) glows. Forest and abandoned buildings along the bottom.
Things to try in each one
- Open Mockup controls (bottom right) to switch between "a live is happening" and "no live right now".
- Click into the live, an adventure, or the evidence locker while signed out to see the "join first" screen, then go through creating an account.
- Once you're signed in, the same pages open up: rewinding the live, clipping moments, and the evidence locker.
- Fill in Suggest a location: it's a shorter form than the one on the current site.
- Mixing is fine: for example, B3's masthead with B4's map.
