So what's the deal with the game?

Geo Popper, Playcadia's premier app, is a mobile location based game.  It uses a mobile device (in our case the iphone) and turns the physical world into a game arena.  In the most basic version it is like a scavenger hunt.  A player will be able to pop balloons and get points by physically moving to the location of the balloons on the screen map on her phone.  There will be arenas all over the world that players design and then conquer.

Future discussion points:
  • How to use games for more than just entertainment?  Visions of gaming potential.
  • What mobile location games are out there currently?  Hotsy totsy or hotsy notsy?
  • Ideas for games that could be transformed into awesomeness
  • Ways we are going to build on the basic framework of our game to make it ammmmaaaaazziinnnngg!!!!!! Spoiler alert, it's not going to be the graphics (see below)

Everythings Going to be Okay
Sometimes adults, like kids, need a reassuring hug and to be told that everything is going to be okay.  A somewhat odd entrepeneaur realized this need and created the Everythings going to be alright doll, a somewhat odd looking blue doll.  He went on "Shark Tank" (Zorro's favorite show) with his creation of a doll for adults that when hugged soothingly said, "everything is going to be okay."  Unfortunately, the doll was not well recieved .  I would like to extend my offer of backing when I become a venture capitalist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGYYRr6DOSo

Zorro's Corner
You know the note your mom would occasionaly stick in your lunchbox filled with xs and os and effusive use of sweetie?  Well, that habit never wore off for my parents and in recent days the note has been augmented with awesome stick figures.
