I remember you … synchronized iTunes listening

Posted: April 20th, 2007 | Author: | Filed under: All, Office Games | Tags: , , , | 5 Comments »

Synchronized iTunes listening is a game to be played at a office at any time of the day. A game that increases creativity in the workplace and energizes participating employees. There are unconfirmed rumours that the game has spread outside the Metropolitan area. I can’t take full credit for the invention of this game that honor I share with my dear friend Megan. While in development we played the game a lot to hone it to perfection. We no longer work together so we can no longer play this game since it requires a physical proximity and visual contact. This is why we want to publicly release the game see how it can be developed further.

To play you need:
Two or more networked computers
Chat client
iTunes 1.1 or higher
At-least one song
Rules:
Player responsible for the kickoff will count down and then signal the other user to start the song. Then the song will go through and the player who rocks out the most with out non-participating people at the office noticing will win. If a non-participant in the office even gets distracted it’s a instant disqualification.
Song suggestions (any song will work but the game was designed with these in mind)
I remember you, Skidrow
More than a feeling, Boston
Space Oddity, David Bowie [:hint you can do amazing things with the clapping]

Enjoy,

Please post comments on suggestions on more songs or alternate game rules.
