About Us



April 27th 2009: 9 People played the game. We (Immad Akhund, 25 and Jude Gomila, 24) were sitting around at home last night and thought it would a great idea to make a game about the swine flu. So we stayed up till 6AM in the morning making the game, got some sleep for 2 hours then launched in the morning. The game is meant to be both fun (everybody needs hope!) and educational. Make sure you read the advice from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on how to reduce the spread and help stamp out this terrible virus!



April 28th 2009: 150,000 People Played the game. OMG! We just woke up at our computers to find that this game is all over twitter, facebook......We thought this game would be viral but not this viral! Getting prepared for more swine-tastic action in the office today....



April 29th 2009: 600,000 People Played the game. WTF! Woke up to find that we got covered in Mexico, Russia, then the UK/US. Rather than being airborne, waterborne or rodent based - this games' virality has been twitter, facebook and IM based. We also added levels to the game to make it even more fun.

May 3rd 2009: 3,200,000 People Played the game. The virus has gone a bit quiet, did we contain it? The cases in the US are still up on the CDC website and the virus has hit China.
