Silver & True: Flirtman

Annoyed with world? Help us to mess it up!

Silver & True present free game for mobile phones, which turns people to social viruses with unpredictable behavior. Perfect tool to annoy surroundings! Bring your phone and try it out!

“We take computer game out of the box and place it back to the reality. A hired actor equipped with hidden mobile phone is walking in Oslo S and anybody can control him by mobile phone using it as remote control. People can control his movement and send him simple commands like kneel down, hug, kiss etc… When the actor hears these commands, he has to do them, but still act natural. You can imagine how it affects social games!”

Schedule: 1. Short presentation: 7 P.M. 2. Public test 7:20 P.M. (in main Oslo S hall etc.) 3. Beer and discussion (after test, in Venterommet pub)
