Chinese (mobile) Whispers

pasta and vinegar has another interesting post, on [vislek], a project carried ou by The Interactive Institute in Sweden.

"The Chinese Whispers (visklek in Swedish) is a game that you might have played as a child. At [visklek.se] the game takes a new form - instead of sitting in a circle and whispering a word to someone sitting next to you, we have used answering machines, a web page and occasional actions in public spaces to create a game between different places and people.

By one single phone call the participants can play the Chinese Whispers. They can also create a new game by calling another phone number and adding a story of their own for others to play with."
