What we learned

This site collected two things during the Brasil Futures Forum: what people recognise of Brazil's cultural repertoire, and which sessions they saved to their own schedule. The numbers below are aggregates read straight from the database. None of them identifies anyone.

Collected 30 July – 11 November 2026

Recognition

The game shows one artefact at a time and asks whether you know it. Every answer is anonymous.

From inside and from outside

At the start of the game each person says whether they are Brazilian. This is the most interesting comparison in the set, and also the most fragile.

85%said they are Brazilian64 · 5,389 answers
51%said they are not14 · 1,746 answers

The difference is large, but it rests on 14 people from outside against 64 from inside. Read it as a hint, not as a measurement.

Recognised by almost everyone

187 artefacts with at least 20 answers.

The least recognised

This is the useful list. Every item here is something Brazil projects that the audience has not found yet.

Where the two views diverge most

Only 79 artefacts got 10 answers from each group. That is too few to rank, so the table shows those 79 and stops there.

How to read these numbers

Everything here is aggregate and comes from the tables the site itself writes. None of it is a representative sample of Brazil or of the forum's audience. The people who played are the people who passed through the site and felt like it.

Artefacts with fewer than 20 answers stay out of the tables. The inside and outside cut uses what each person declared, not the country they browsed from.

46 stars point at sessions the production spreadsheet renamed later. They count in the total and do not appear per session.
