Game Developer
The Go Game
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Wireless industry)
November 2005 — June 2008 (2 years 8 months)
The Go Game (www.thegogame.com) produces high-tech urban adventure games. We basically craft customized "Amazing Race"-type events for companies and other organizations looking for a team-building experience or just a riotously fun time. All around the country (and internationally) I create elaborate games from scratch, hiring actors, scouting locations, writing missions, facilitating the kidnapping of company executives, editing video clues, communicating with clients, making hilarious presentations, and generally orchestrating everything that makes The Go Game so popular.
