Inspiration

What it does
Messaging based party game. Allows cross border & cross-platform gaming. Starting with the most accessible form of communication: SMS; allowing players of all ages and fortune to join in with their friends and future friends on every other major messaging platform (coming soon...)
How I built it

What I learned
That software labs are definitely
