Play ‘N Pop, a startup in Hong Kong focusing on mobile and Facebook devices, recently released its first game, Guess This Pic.
This iOS trivia game challenges the mind to guess what an image is laid beneath clickable gray tiles. With only a few guesses and a select amount of letters, gamers are forced to rack their brains on what the image might be. With 1000 downloads in its first three days, programmer Ian Callaghan is looking into the near future to develop a new sensational game.
General Assembly, with the wide variety of classes it offers, has condensed the educational gap between those that know-how and those that don’t. Technology influences our everyday life tremendously, so it comes as no surprise that more people are looking to learn its language.
GA not only offers an educational environment but also builds a community where people can share their skills with those that need them. We connected with Allison Baum, Director of General Assembly HK, to get a peek inside what GA has in store for the rest of 2013.
The startup community in Hong Kong is growing and only getting bigger with time.
And it’s about to get even bigger!
