Hillary Clinton launched a game-style mobile app, Hillary 2016, for her presidential campaign. This app helps volunteers get engaged in the campaign activities from their smartphone.
The app was built by a team of techonlogy veterans from DreamWorks Animation, Charity: Water and Livestream.
With Hillary 2016, you can:
- Complete daily challenges to help elect Hillary Clinton
- Get rewards (digital and real-life ones!)
- Design your own campaign HQ
- Test your knowledge and become an expert on the issues
- Compete against your friends and other supporters
- Share news and information (and even do some good old-fashioned organizing)
- And, as they say, a whole lot more.
Though designed to help Hillary supporters take real-world actions, it has a gaming element which is based on gaming concepts like those used in FarmVille and other social games. Volunteers can compete against one another and earn both virtual and real-world rewards.
The app is only available on iOS for now; however an Android version is in the works.
