Anybody heard of or been involved with a great new phenomenon lately called Text Message Games..
There are many different variations on the game and most of the time all you need is a mobile phone, some credit and some people in your address book (the more diverse the better e.g. colleagues to parents). I love this kind of thing because it's interactive and your playing with real people. Here are some examples - although if you know any more or variations please let me know.
This first set are a variation on the game of Russian Roulette - you'll need nerves of steel:
- The "I Love You Game" - Create a new message saying "I love you" - then without looking at what your choosing - select a random contact from your address book and send it.
- Other variation of this one are to change the wording to something negative like "Get F***ed" this is can add the element of danger if you have parents or even grandparents in your phone book. - not one to try when your drunk.
Another set are the "Reaction" texts, send a group of well chosen individuals a text saying something like "I know your secret", and see what you get back - I've heard of people striking gold with this one - the stock response is usual, "Yeah what ever" or "What?" but on one occasion somebody I know got a response of "How?".
You can also target these types of texts a certain types of people, for example send your mother "Don't panic, I'm ok now" then turn your phone off for an hour. <hahaha>
The last one is my current favorite, I have to thank my friend Colin for this one. He sent a text out to a group of friends with just one random made up swear word in it, then noted how long it took them all to reply. He then collated the responses, (times and messages) and emailed all the "victims" to let them know how they'd done. The interesting part of this one was the results - it seems all the married parents of the group managed to reply with childish or obscene responses within a matter of minutes. I'm not sure what that says about us or Colin.
