  9. Stolen - A geolocation game using fringe venue data and National Museum Scotland data. Online, NMS objects are exhibited in venues, and you can Steal them!! All the swag has completely ludicrous large values, so you could really make some gains :-))

    RT @froots101: There appear to be some skinny purple sperms making post-industrial white noise on screen at #chs11. Awesome.

  25. Edinburgh Culture Vulture - an interactive text adventure by Gav and Nicola into the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The idea is that you must seek out interesting shows so that you have good pub chat in the evening! Pulls in show and venue data, and wikipedia data about the architecture and tourist attractions of Edinburgh. The game allows you score to points as well as giving you an interesting, fun navigation tool
