Show HN: A game about the Snowden leaks played by email

• agd 11y ago
  Creator here, a bit more info: - the demo is played in real-time (so emails are sent and received throughout the day) - each character in the game has their own email address and PGP key pair - you can play using PGP but it's completely optional - I'm using mailgun/ec2/dynamodb on the backend - keybase pgp for the encryption/decryption (https://keybase.io/kbpgp https://keybase.io/kbpgp) If you like the idea, I'm currently running a Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1928653683/top-secret-a-game-about-the-snowden-leaks https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1928653683/top-secret-a... I'm happy to answer any questions. Enjoy!

    I love this idea! Just the kind of thing I'd like to invent myself :-) However, some more questions before I sign up: - is there a set time in which the demo runs? (e.g. 1st - 14th October)? - is there a min/max number of participants - what happens with our email addresses after the game is over?

      Hey. - The demo will be running during the kickstarter so for the next 3 weeks. - There is no max number of participants (well unless the server gets overloaded) - Your email is automatically deleted once the demo ends.

  Not my cup of tea, but very impressive!
