Usually the site has a task - to collect as many users as possible, to make the information as accessible as possible. There is one of the sites where the opposite is true. And this is another state site. Just this state does not officially exist. But he has 50,000 citizens around the world. I am now talking about the site
kazantipa.net .
What is the trick?This is the latest version of the site. But here designers have already surpassed themselves. In order to get through to at least some information, it is necessary to go through the “circles of hell” for those who have never been to Kazantip and do not yet know that this is not the case as in other countries. Example:

This is how you understood the menu%) You will get here if you guess to close the flash game that is very brain-sucking, and scroll to the left slider at the bottom of the screen.

Well, and so on. What goals are set for designers:
1) At Kazantip they try to keep the atmosphere of the party, so that random people would not get there. Friends of friends.
2) If a person is not ready to spend time exploring the site, he will not have time to absorb part of the culture of powdering the brain, which is super important there.
The result is achieved.
PS This is not PR. It’s just a demonstration of how design can not only help but also hinder people.
