GIMME PROPS!
Serious game, 2012
We got the idea for the project because we were frustrated with how propositions are usually covered. It’s not so much that coverage is lacking, it’s more that it tends to be super drab and short of the multimedia storytelling potential of the Interwebs. Self-interested millionaires, corporations, unions, and politicians typically use what was supposed to be a way citizens could create laws for their own benefit.
THE CAT AND THE COUP
Serious game, 2011
The first democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh, nationalized the oil industry in 1951. In 1953, the CIA engineered a coup to bring about his downfall. In this game you are his cat, a witness like no other.
AFGHAN-WAR-DIARY

Leaky World: a playable theory
Serious game, 2010
This game is an interactive interpretation of the essay "Conspiracy as Governance" by Julian Assange, a fundamental document to understand Wikileaks and the concept of radical transparency as strategy for social change.
Leaky World includes headlines about actual information leaks, mostly but not esclusively related to Wikileaks. Clicking on the headline pauses the game and opens a browser window on a news article.
OILIGARCHY

With Oiligarchy, you can become the hero of the oil age: explore and drill around the world, pay off politicians, block alternative energy, and increase dependence on oil. Enjoy it as much as you can before the resources run out.
