Greg Trefry and I were commissioned by the ALA American Library Association to create a game for their annual conference in Anaheim, CA. We created a California literary-themed and sms-enabled game for the librarians to play over the course of several days during the conference (June 29-30, 2008).

The game operated under the veil of a light narrative about the disarray of California's myths. As members of The California Myth Authority, players helped put order to the chaos by using their mobile phones to text solutions to literary and film trivia, reenacting famous myths, and searching for mythical characters.

Greg and I released the materials used to build and run the game with the hopes that librarians will run similar games in their home libraries, based on their own area's myths, legends, and folklore.
