Remember what Bejeweled was to online games? And what Farmville was for social games or Angry Birds was for native app games?

Well there is a massive new area emerging for mobile gaming that is waiting for it's first big hit. It is called the mobile web. By using HTML5 to develop your mobile web game, you can reach millions of mobile gamers, whether through mobile game portals, media sites, social networks, app stores, or within what we believe represents the largest opportunity - mobile messaging apps. Join TreSensa and Kik, in partnership with the Made in NY Media Center by IFP and NYCEDC, to help NYC become the epicenter for this new class of games.

Learn to code games in Javascript and collaborate with other game developers, designers and artists to win prizes and have fun. Prizes include $1,000 for the Grand Prize Winner, $500 for the Runner Up, and $250 for Third Place. Space is limited, so sign up now.
