Play it Forward
Play it Forward with Akoha
If you follow me elsewhere, you know that I enjoy connecting with people both IRL (in real life) and in the Social Media realm. Akoha Playing it Forward game is a way to connect “real life” connections (even quick ones) to an “online” one.
Andy Kaufman, East Bay Foreclosure Agent in CA, played a card with my friend Sarah while we were in New York for a Real Estate conference. He explained the game and gave SarahWV a card along with a Chocolate Bar.. what could be better than that ?
The playing mission card gets logged on the Akoha website, with short notes that explain who gave the card to whom. The purpose is then that the card gets played again… so Sarah would buy someone chocolate and give them the card…. on the website you can see where the card has traveled.
I love this idea. I bought a starter pack of decks and sent them off to people I thought would really use them. Hopefully it’s sitting on “to do lists” somewhere, however, no one has claimed their missions or the decks I gave out as gifts. (Wanna see who? If you get some cards and join, check out my Akoha profile 
It’s still a great idea… so I’ll continue to “play” and “pay” it forward – both with and without the cards.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for your support of the Akoha project. I’m really glad you got your deck. We are working on some additional features that make it easier for players to ‘nudge’ recipients of missions to claim them.
Would love to hear any other feedback you have to share.
Thanks,
-Austin Hill (Akoha co-founder)
@Austin – Oh I’ll keep playing … it’s fun regardless, but would be better if people played… oh! I played two cards today and they both accepted already – so it’s already improving.
I like the improvements you’ve made on the site in the last couple of weeks too !
Kim, I’m still lost, but eager to look into it. =) Will have to add it to my TD list. Today’s already fully booked.
Nice site!
Hey Kim,
I’m one of those slackers you are talking about who have your very thoughtful gift of an Akoha starter pack still sitting on my desk. It IS on my list – I promise. I’ve just been caved up in my office for the past couple weeks!!! (No excuse, I know, but that’s my excuse nonetheless
Hope all is well West of Philly!
@Maggie – Sorry I wasn’t clear enough. It is a fun “pay it forward” game. Hopefully you’ll get to play one of these days !
@Joel – Yes you are my Friend
