Welcome to the EVOKE Network. This is not a simulation. You are about to tackle real problems. Food security. Energy. Water security. Disaster relief. Poverty. Pandemic. Education. Global conflict. Human rights
Welcome to the Evoke Network. Welcome to your crash course in changing the world. There’s an old saying here: ”If you have a problem, and you can’t solve it alone, evoke it.” When we evoke, we look for creative solutions. We use whatever resources we have. We get as many people involved as possible. We take risks. We come up with ideas that have never been tried before.
An evoke is an urgent call to innovation. Evoking first started in Africa, but it can happen anywhere. And if you found this message, then it is your destiny to join us. Reserve your spot in the EVOKE Network now. You’ll receive an alert on March 3, 2010 when your first EVOKE mission is ready. Want to get a head start on the game? Read episode one, Investigate episode one and watch the trailer.
EVOKE is free to play and open to anyone, anywhere. The game begins on March 3, 2010. Players can join the game at any time. Players who successfully complete ten game challenges in ten weeks will be able to claim their honors: Certified World Bank Institute Social Innovator – Class of 2010.
Top players will also earn online mentorships with experienced social innovators and business leaders from around the world, and scholarships to share their vision for the future at the EVOKE Summit in Washington DC.
EVOKE was developed by the World Bank Institute, the learning and knowledge arm of the World Bank Group, and directed by alternate reality game master Jane McGonigal.
