Reading through a book given to me by a co-worker this morning I came upon this site, and I decided to register and play it. The idea of AKOHA.com is just random acts of kindness which when you complete them, give you points. It helps people spead good deeds across the world. It might be sad that we need a website to help us do some acts of kindness, but I think it is a fun initiative and will help promote some fun enthusiasm into the daily routine.

So let’s see how many points I can gather up. I recieved my first missions and will be on my way. A nice little boost of motivation.

Akoha is a real-world and virtual game where you carry out missions that involve performing small acts of kindness for others. The activities of Akoha players are described on Akoha cards that involve real-world and virtual missions. As Akoha players perform more missions, they advance in the game, recruit new players, and spread good deeds across the planet. Akoha cards include missions like “Donate an Hour of Your Time”, “Give Someone a Book” and “Make Someone Smile.”

In contrast to increasingly rich virtual worlds and massively multiplayer games on the Internet, Akoha takes place in the real world, turning everyday life into a massive playground. Akoha is simple to play with your friends and family, so that every public place becomes part of Akoha’s world.

Akoha allows players to see their accomplishments, track the movement of cards in play, and share photos and videos, creating a highly interactive and immersive experience.
