Snag' Em

A Social Networking Game

Snag' Em is a social networking game designed especialy for the academic community, especially at conferences and community colleges. Certain social dynamics offer uneven advantages to those that are especially extroverted or articulate. Snag' Em offers a way for less outgoing people to comfortably network and build a sense of community, as well as lower social boundaries created by language barriers and culture differences. Since a sense of community is correlated with involvement and retention [1], Snag' Em aims to collaterally improve these for users as well.
