    Ben and Trevor are exploring the idea of sharing information in games via websockets, and so this week are taking What 3 Words and combining them with that idea. The result is games such as:

    • playing a platformer where one of you is an imposter
    • solving a mystery in a deduction game where you can only communicate via scrapbooking
    • an asymmetrical multiplayer game where one person control the weather
    • and more!
