Why?
For fun and as an experiment to see how far it will go.

Start the game by choosing one of your followers, someone you know enough for this to work. Tweet the following text: “You are: [change to the actual real description of your follower] male, tall, live in NY, love cats, won a ticket to Hawaii. Is this you? Here are the rules: URL to the rules #infinitegame”.
The rules:
1. You cannot name the person you are hinting at.

Simple? Guess What It is!
Why?
A fun game to discover interesting designs and artifacts.
How?
Publish a daily photo or video of seemingly simple objects and let people guess (not public until the end of the day) what they are. At the end of the day, the people who guessed right are listed in chronological order. The first 30% of these get points. The leaderboard of best guesses is updated daily.

The Book of Retail Games for More Profits
Why?
Use games in your retail store to get more traffic and profits.
How?
A book where an extensive list of games you can play with your customers to make them come more often and buy more. Each game has a major goal, either getting new clients, making them buy more often, or increasing the amount they spend on each visit.

Get Customers Returning to Your Store With This Game
Why?
You get two benefits:
1. Customers will visit the store more frequently.
2. Their attachment and feelings to the store will increase.
How?
You put a small paper with a message (like “So you found me!? Show me when you’re checking out and get…”) in or under an item in the store (a book for example.) Then publish (on Facebook, Twitter, etc.) that you have hidden a coupon in or under an item in your store, and give them clues to where it is. The clues should help them quickly find the item. The moment they locate the message (they have to come in to look for it), they get whatever you promised (discount, gift, etc.), and you hide it in a new item (the next on your list.) They then share this and the new clues with their friends. You also publish that the coupon has been found and now moved to a new item, and the clues for it. You continue this as long as it’s working (you can change what you give from time to time if you see it’s not attractive anymore.) For each person finding the message, there’ll be many who try, so this should increase traffic to your store.

Accountability Game
Why?
It will make doing your tasks more fun and help you actually do them.
How?
A website and app that lets you write a goal and a list of tasks (recurring and one time), and invite your friends to hold you accountable. You use this as you would any other task list, with the only difference that they’ll see what happens. To make your friends’ lives easier, the system will message them (email, Facebook, etc.) each day on your progress – what you should have done and did or didn’t. This way they don’t have to do anything proactively, and you know that they know what you did today. They can then – with a simple click – congratulate you on a successful day or send you encouragements for the next day.
