How to Play

Akoha is a new type of “social reality game” inspired by the idea of pay it forward where players play real-world missions that can be tracked online at http://akoha.com.

Missions are simple activities that are “played forward” from person to another and might include things like:

• Surprising a friend with a mystery gift
• Giving flowers to a stranger
• Buying someone a compact florescent light bulb

Playing Akoha isn’t hard but for those who want the 50,000-foot view, here’s the basics:

Karma

Each time you play a mission you earn “karma points”. Earn enough karma and you’ll be able to “level-up” to the next level. (You can think of karma points as experience points from other role playing games). You can also earn karma for helping others play their missions forward.

Adding videos, photos and stories to your missions earns you extra karma points. Your missions continue to earn points for you as long as they keep traveling (that way you’ll be earning karma in your sleep!)

If you’re feeling creative, you can also create your own missions at Mission HQ and track their progress as others play them around the world.

Levels

There are 15 levels in all and you’ll need to earn a increasing level of karma to reach the next higher level. As you reach higher levels you’ll also need confirmations from others before you’ll be able to level-up.
