Show HN: A game about the Snowden leaks played by email
playtopsecret.com
playtopsecret.com
- the demo is played in real-time (so emails are sent and received throughout the day)
- each character in the game has their own email address and PGP key pair
- you can play using PGP but it's completely optional
- I'm using mailgun/ec2/dynamodb on the backend
- keybase pgp for the encryption/decryption (https://keybase.io/kbpgp)
If you like the idea, I'm currently running a Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1928653683/top-secret-a...
I'm happy to answer any questions. Enjoy!
- is there a set time in which the demo runs? (e.g. 1st - 14th October)?
- is there a min/max number of participants
- what happens with our email addresses after the game is over?
- The demo will be running during the kickstarter so for the next 3 weeks.
- There is no max number of participants (well unless the server gets overloaded)
- Your email is automatically deleted once the demo ends.
