Like Summer Camp, without the bugs!
Color Wars 2008!
"We used to play color wars at summer camp. Near the end of the year the entire camp would split up into colors, red, green, black, blue, etc... and compete in a series of events: tug of war, egg toss, basketball - sort of like the movie Meatballs, except all within the same camp.
During the summer we were divided into discreet units, older kids here, younger kids there, Hiawathans by the lake Tawasenthans by the ropes course, etc... But when it came time for color wars you had no idea who would be on your team. It was a release, and it was viciously fun.
So, for a while I've been thinking about how a color war might look online. How would you play tug of war, or other group games that were silly, time limited, and awesome... and more importantly how could you create teams within an already functioning environment to have that same people-mash-up effect that we did at camp.
Twitter seemed perfect."
All the information you need to play is at colorwar2008.com. I'm a member of Team Sweater Vest. We need more snappily dressed campers to make this summer the best one of them all!
Some of the upcoming events include a Google Maps Scavenger Hunt and (the one I joined for) a Smacktalk Haiku contest!
Come play with me!
