chromaroma #gamelayer


Even the most mundane of tasks or experiences becomes more interesting with the addition of a game layer.

In this case it's the London Transport Oyster card that's the key.

'Chromaroma takes your travel data and makes it into a game where every journey counts in a competition for the city.'

A bit like Foursquare on steroids.

I also like the philosophy of creators Mudlark;
'...building ways to create entertaining games from the data we create and leave behind without noticing.'



Data-Wombles.

In Melbourne we have the Myki travel pass.
There's actually little reason for daily commuters to purchase a Myki over a regular season ticket. In fact it's more useful for occasional travellers.
Over to you Metlink.

HT and finders fee to our man Mark Gretton.
