Where is Damascus? UsVsTh3m is Making Cheeky Games for Political Commentary
“Gamification and Activism Done Right”
That was a recent tweet by Chris Albon, a well-known political scientist and coder who writes about using technology for social good. Albon was referring to “Where’s Damascus (Don’t Ask Us)”, a game created by a new little start-up called UsVsTh3m. UsVsTh3m is funded and incubated by UK publisher Trinity Mirror, which like many of its peers, is trying to create new revenue opportunities through a series of cheeky games with political commentary.
