<h3>Hackable Games</h3>

<ul>

<li><strong>Project Name:</strong>: Hackable Games</li>  

** QUESTION: re: PRODUCT MARKETING + games.

*** Is this the right name? How do we want to "package" / brand Mozilla's hackable gaming work going forward?

*** "Hackable games?" "Game On?" A gaming component under Mozilla Webmaker? Gaming for Thimble? There's product / naming / branding complexity here we need to solve.

* <b>Use games as a way to teach digital literacy and webmaking.</b> Turn game "consumers" into game creators / remixers. Baking in digital skills as they make, remix and play.

* <b>Push the web forward.</b> Showcase the new power of the web as an open gaming platform for the world. The web is the platform. For mobile. For gaming. For creativity.

<b>Game On: Build the next generation of web-based games</b>

* Mozilla invites you to imagine how next-generation web technologies can revolutionize the way we make and play games. Invent new game mechanics, create new storylines, engage diverse audiences, introduce aesthetically challenging content and re-imagine games as hackable; games that let their players remix, fork and share to their heart’s content.

* Show us what's possible using the web as an open gaming platform for the world.

* Make browser-based 2D games, 3D games, mobile games, hackable games and games for learning.

* Invent new game mechanics, create new storylines, engage diverse audiences, introduce visually challenging content.

* Win a trip to the Game Developers Conference (http://www.gdconf.com/) to meet industry pioneers.
