Welcome to the SynchroniCity
Today our massively multiplayer game Maker Cities goes live! Maker Cities empowers players to imagine and make the future of their cities. In the game, players submit ideas about how the maker movement might impact society at large in the near future: how we learn, govern, eat and live.
Create a player at makercities.net to start today. You may play any idea about how makers will make the future of cities—for your city or one on the other side of the world. You can also contribute a future for the semi-weekly Maker Cities Challenges, focused challenges designed to give players the opportunity to ideate in a specific area like aging, food, and more. At the end of each Maker Cities Challenge, we’ll announce winners in 3 categories: Best Idea, Best Prototype, and Best Collaborator.
