Edward Snowden's mission is to educate the public about the privacy violations commited by the government with their mass surveillance programs. To continue Snowden's mission, we'll create sn0wd3n - an adventure game that will be made available for free and accessible through the Web and mobile.


As part of that you could gamify the installation and use of various tools.

"Download Tor - 50 points!"

"Create a GPG / PGP key? 50 points!"


...and a relentless powerful 365/24/7 `Diaboli Machinae' to avoid. This is interesting, perhaps a text based adventure game is most expedient, release 1.0? A GUI, with Google maps, etc, 3D dynamic hunter-killer thugs and drones, would be awesome but overwhelming.

I've read Edward is a very good gamer, so he has all of sn0wd3n already playing, and winning.
