Water Cooler Games served as the web's primary forum for "videogames with an agenda" — coverage of the uses of video games in advertising, politics, education, and other everyday activities, outside the sphere of entertainment.

The site was maintained at watercoolergames.org from 2003-2009, where it was edited by myself and Gonzalo Frasca. It is now archived here in full.

Jetset: A Game for Airports

Over at Persuasive Games, we've launched our first iPhone game, Jetset: A Game for Airports. Here's the short blurb:

A game for the frazzled globetrotter in all of us. Keep up with the changing rules of airport security on your iPhone or iPod touch. Play in airports to earn unique souvenirs to keep, give to friends, or redeem for prizes.

The iPhone game connects to the Jetset Facebook App, where gifts and redemptions are handled. As Kotaku put it, now you can take an airport security game through airport security.

Buy the game on the iTunes App Store (pretty please?)
