Greece’s
dept crisis has led some sharp minds to creativity. One of them is Yorgos
Potamitis, a Greek Canadian who has studied in Toronto and now lives in Athens.
George has created a mobile game called Mark My Words. The Quotations Game which
is now available for both androids and IOS phones. It is a game for adults and
kids as well, which leads to the quotations of the great personalities of
humanity throughout the centuries.
You
can watch the game’s trailer on youtube

Who
is Yorgos Potamitis
I
could give you a brief background of the game and myself as well. Firstly for
me Canada is like my second home. I spend 8 years of my life in Toronto since I
got my BA from University of Toronto in IR and History and then also went to
Ryerson’s University where I finished the Radio and Television Arts dept. And I
also have the Canadian Citizenship so in a way I am also a Canadian product! However
the game is in reality created by Greeks in Greece and it was an attempt to
explore new avenues available in order to overcome the new realities that we
are faced with here, which I am sure you are aware of!
Mark
My Words, the game
Now,
the game. It’s a game obviously based on quotations . The player is presented
with a quotation whether it’s serious, witty, silly or even stupid and he or
she has to discover who was responsible for it. There are 4 alternative answers
and if this is not helpful enough the player can use 4 clues in order to make a
more educated guess.
This
is the game play in an nutshell. I have tried to keep only quotes by people who
to some degree are, if not famous at least recognizable by most. In addition
you will find in the game quotes by people like Confucius and Socrates, Lady
Gaga and Wayne Gretzky . Napoleon , Churchill, Oscar Wilde and Albert Einstein,
in other words you will come across with representatives of all human
activities!.
Right now there are 800 such quotes and soon
they will be 900. And the fact is that people love quotations and this is the
first game exclusively based on them, with the innovative addition of the
clues.
