This year we participated in the Floodlight Game Jam, an event for teams to make a game within the span of a month based off of one of their curated list of investigative journalism stories!

Our game is Predatorgate, a game about the spyware scandal that shook Greece and based on the reporting of Inside Story. You play as a reporter, writing headlines about the unfolding events, while shaking off the paranoia that you might also be under surveillance.

We’re thrilled to have received the grand prize, announced at the INDIGO Conference!

Not only are we happy to help spread the word of this critical, real-world issue of privacy and state-sponsored surveillance contractors, but we’re also happy to kick off String Bat Studio with a project so near and dear to our values.
