Instructions for Mobile Players
updated 9/21/2006 02:00am

This page is relevant for players from NYU, Parsons and Brooklyn Polytechnic. We have already distributed all our game phones, so we can't accept more mobile players this time. Sorry about that. However you can participate the game through this web site without phone anyway. See you here or in Manhattan on Saturday!

mobile players
You should have received an N80 mobile phone, game T-shirt, Nokia raincoat (hopefully not needed) and installation instructions from your school. You should have signed player agreement when you got that stuff.

Once you have the game phone you should do the following:

  1. NYU students: Install Python application according to the given instructions
  2. Update the game client on Friday
  3. Check that the client works (see the given instructions)
  4. Come out and Play on Saturday, 23rd of September from 11:30am to 2pm!

We will have a pre-game briefing in the middle of Sheep Meadow (see the location in GoogleMaps) in Central Park. Invitations to the evening party will be handed out there so don't miss the briefing. Note that you have to wear the game T-shirt or the raincoat while you're playing, since otherwise we can't show photos of you in Times Square. See the game rules for further information.

Our playtesters commented that it is great fun to play the game in teams of 2-4 people. This allows you to take photos of other teammates easily, amongst other things. Maybe you should form or join a team before Saturday.

Please check this page before Saturday again -- we might make some last minute additions (:
