And I Saw... is a game of finding things and making a list of them with text messaging. It's like a treasure hunt, it's like "I Spy", in fact it's quite like a few things you may have played to relieve boredom as a child. However it's been bought up to date through the use of SMS and mobile internet.

To play the game you'll need to register your phone number and give yourself a tagname. Then all you need to do is bring your phone, yourself, a camera if you like, and most importantly your keen sense of vision. Anything could be part of the game, a balloon, a person wearing a T-shirt, a sticker in a shop window, a fellow player... If it has one of the tags with the 5 digit code, record it simply by texting in the number you see.
People playing this game: Fausto Fonseca, Ana Paula, thorntocon, Cathy, ;Becky Fishman, Manar, Tallbird, Jules, Chris Martin, Minky_Withers, Katy, suyin, andrea , doug, Steve G, Kevan, Gema, Jo, emilymaypinhead, Bring Stuff, Nicole Mathison, Mink, master mead, juliantree, Neil, andrea, Andrew B C, Shabby-Joe Johnson, oscar, romy and 68 others.

Since he gave up playing with really big computers as a research scientist Chris has been trying to find more and more excuses to play with really big computers powering websites. He's been involved in projects as diverse as social worlds for 7-11 year olds, video archives of Nobel Prizewinners telling their life store, a James Bond Premiere Webcast and putting contemporary sculpture on Trafalgar Square's FourthPlinth.

He's recently formed Jaggeree, a social media consultancy which designs, builds and advises on all aspects of social games and social applications.
