- Text Me Game - Create a Flash Mob with Your Phone
Text Me is a game that allows the participants to create flashmob-like
performance events using their phones. Each “player” receives
simple instructions on their mobile phone via SMS, which they immediately
perform at the same time and at the same location.
During the second stage the “players” can start using
their mobile phones as remote controls to send instructions to the
rest of the “players”. Every person can become a “player”
at any moment.
Here is how:
1. Send an SMS starting with TEXT ME to +44 7624 802 552 from your
mobile phone (use another keyword if you know it :-)
2. You will receive a confirmation with your first task.
3. You have to perform the task as soon as you receive it.
For example, it might be “Text back this text: HELLO”
or
“Put your right hand up for 1 minute and hold it there”.
3. As you continue playing the game, the tasks will become more and
more interesting: “Freeze where you are for 3 minutes”
or “Come up to someone and ask them if they are in love”
and “players” will be doing them at the same time.
4. At a certain point, the most dedicated players will receive a special
keyword, that will allow them to start using their mobiles as remote
controls to control the actions of other “players”.
NOTE: The game works only if everybody follows the rules. That
is, you have to perform the tasks immediately after you receive them.
If you don’t do that, you will not be part of the game.
