As a follow up to the TV series “24″, Fox is releasing a series of one minute ‘Mobisodes’ dubbed “24: Conspiracy”. These new micro-episodes are to be distributed (sold?) to Vodafone customers’ phones. I didn’t really get into the show when it was on TV but I think the subject matter would be ideal for an alternate reality style game.
I think the key to making this cooler would be using the fact that the playback device is a phone. This means ‘Mobisodes’ could be broadcast at any time of day or night with a 100% chance the audience will see them (even if they check their messages the next day). Users/viewers could send information back to the producers and/or to each other to select a character or plot thread to follow or just to comment.
I doubt that this will happen, but still, its is an interesting move for a major studio to start producing content for 3G capable phones.
