The League of Extraordinary Nations – Pop Up Playground

Overview

With a name like The League of Extraordinary Nations, Pop Up Playground's latest project sounds like a cross between a model UN club and a comic book plot.

Actually, The League of Extraordinary Nations is a game where players take on the role of ambassadors and have to work together to protect the world from evil in the form of "nuked-up tin-pot dictators, egomaniacal madmen and intergalactic supervillains," all with dastardly world domination schemes that must be foiled in time.

Pop Up Playground create games, but not as we know them. They don't create board or video games; they create pervasive games — larger-scale, interactive simulations and narratives, a bit like a grown-up version of children playing make-believe games on the playground.

The object of the game is for everyone to work together to achieve world peace, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Like the real UN, there are sure to be disagreements and suspicion amongst the nations that need to be overcome first.
