We’ve Launched!

Operation: Sleeper Cell has gone gold (if such a term exists for a web-based game). It’s been a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun and heading up the tech side of such an ambitious project has been a great experience.

So what is Operation: Sleeper Cell? Well, simply put it is an online fundraising game (probably one of the first, or at least most ambitious.) Players, or Agents, form teams and compete to solve puzzles for points whilst donating to Cancer Research UK and encouraging their friends, families, colleagues, complete strangers to sponsor them. Donations and sponsorship generate our in-game currency which can be used to unlock further puzzles and progress the game.

Most of all it’s fun and for a good cause, so please head on over and give it a go…

PS3 iPlayer Update

Sorry for the downtime lately. I’ve been away and busy working on other things so couldn’t keep up with the BBC’s changes. It should be up and running again, but when I’ve got some spare time, I’d like to change the way this site works to be able to handle the BBC’s updates automatically.

In the mean time, if you want a bit of spy-themed fun and at the same time help raise as little bit of cash for Cancer Research UK, please visit the online game I’ve been working on called Operation: Sleeper Cell!
