“Invite a friend for coffee” is just one of the many Akoha missions. Other mission cards include activities like “Donate an hour of your time”, “Give someone a book”, and “Send drinks to a couple in love”. Many more missions are constantly being added as the community and the game grow.

Yeah, it is pretty cool. We should take this moment to admit this is a conceptual markup. Our 3D imaging satellites aren’t launched into space yet, so the current images look more like Google Maps.

Karma points are like experience points. Before launching in 2009, we’ll be adding new game features including badges, rewards, and virtual currency. We’ll also be improving our scoring system. So beta players should be prepared to see some changes as the game evolves. We appreciate your help in making sure the game is lots of fun.

We love the idea of taking the game with you wherever you go, which is why barcodes and support for mobile play are a big part of our vision. Although the current mission cards don’t have barcodes on them, we’ve developed an iPhone app and barcode scanning capabilities that we’ll be testing with a small group of beta players prior to the game’s release in 2009. Once the game’s released, you’ll be able to enjoy mobile play wherever you are.

Initially, decks of Akoha mission cards can be ordered through the Akoha store. In the future, you’ll be able to customize and order your own Akoha mission decks featuring only the missions you want to play, made just for you, delivered to your home. Special themed decks of Akoha mission cards will also be available in retail locations around the world; for instance, green mission cards to spread environmental acts of kindness.

Although playing creates its own rewards, we also have lots of plans for how points and our upcoming virtual currency can be combined with prizes, partners, sponsors and special event-based tournaments, to make playing Akoha rewarding on many levels.
