Enter MegaPhone.
MegaPhone is a phone-controlled, real-time, multi-player collaborative gaming platform for big screens in public spaces.
Anyone can use ANY phone from ANY service provider in ANY country as a game controller
Players join the game by making a regular phone call, and they can see their input (either voice or keypad) immediately
Since screens are quite small on a mobile phone, MegaPhone replaces the mobile screens with a giant stage Screen. Players join the game by calling a number on the screen. They can play by giving voice commands or by using keyboard. The DTMF signals generated by your cell phone when you press on keyboard while on the call will be used as commands to control the game. Its quite fascinating idea.
Watch the videos below on how it works and how players are enjoying the game.
