AWEBO — a field walk in the north
AWEBO is the internet name for the male willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) and its strange, croaking spring call, heard on the fells of northern Norway for generations as something close to a-WE-bo, a-WE-bo. AWEBO.no turns that bird into a quiet, free browser field walk.
The walk
AWEBO is a quiet, free browser field-walk game. You walk a tile-based Norwegian fell, flush willow ptarmigan and mountain hare from the moss, and hold a steady viewfinder to keep what appears in a memory log. No score, no streak, no enemy, no account, no signup. The first geotagged scene is set on the fells around Tranøy in Nordland, northern Norway.
The name and the trademark
AWEBO is an onomatopoeic spelling of the male willow ptarmigan’s loud spring advertisement call. AWEBO is a registered trademark in Norway, held by Rokter Holding. The site is operated by Rokter AS, Narvik, Norway.
