Idea
A game where successive players must say the name of someone associated to the previously mentioned person. If a player thinks that the association is dubious they can “challenge” and the player must justify the association. If they can’t justify then the challenger wins. A player is allowed 3 challenges. On the third unsuccessful challenge the challenger loses. If a player cannot think of an associate person then they lose. If a player cannot think of a person on the second turn then the game is null.

Engage in competitive quests through your local area.

Idea

A tour/treasure hunt run by clues available via SMS or a URL. Teams start with the first clue and then travel around a geographical region solving the puzzles. At the end they are rewarded somehow. It is like a car rally by SMS where puzzles have to be solved. ie. meant to be fun but it is also competitive. The game can be played competitively where you have teams starting out at the same time with fresh clues. You could have non competitive games where the idea is to lead the party around a space, eg. a park, city. The participants have to work for it. A spin off is to take the QA aspect away and just have a tour.

Business

It might be possible to make money on the SMS aspect of this. ie. premium numbers are used to provide the clues. Harder to provide info but suitable if just asking questions.

Update

Now that mobile phones with internet capability and netbooks are all the rage, this kind of thing could just be a website. It could then be used to drive custom to businesses along the route.
