Event title?
We're trying to come up with a super awesome name for our event, with some Web2.0 style dropped vowels. Does anyone have any input or suggestions? Update: Latest train of thought has us on "Oomph!"

A couple of things to follow-up on from this morning: SMS gateway ITEE already has one that we could use. Peter Sutton set this up for student feedback purposes a few years ago, and currently uses it to send out mid-semester results, etc. for students who register with him. All SMS to the number is redirected to a web page, which has a PHP script to deal with the incoming messages. The address is fixed, but it would be possible to alter the PHP. There is also a PHP interface for sending outgoing messages from the system. Peter has no problem with us using this. Another location-based game The game/experience I mentioned is called Akoha . They have Play it Forward , what they call a 'social reality game', which uses cards to pass missions on from one player to another. The cards use QR codes to link back to the online representation of the game.

You could also grab some ideas from the Amazing Race - global scale but they do some interesting stuff that isn't just based around finding answers. These could be used as ways of getting teams to mingle with each other - and as ways of building the relationships within groups so that they interact m...
