Making Your Own BliPPer


Making an BliPPer that you launch into the world with a goal is both fun and rewarding, as well as absolutely free. You can make it out of whatever you choose, decorate it as you choose, and give it a goal that only you can come up with.

Tracking your Blipper

After launching your BliPPer by giving it to a friend or leaving it in a public place, you can track it's progress toward it's goals and throughout the world by watching it's BlipBlog, which is a blog of all the places your blipper has been found. The people who find your BliPPer can upload pictures of your BliPPer accomplishing it's goals and contribute your your BliPPer's blog.

You can also be notified by e-mail whenever someone finds and logs the code on your BliPPer, if you choose. You can opt out of email notification at any time.

The Game, and Points

The challenge is to see if you can make a BliPPer that actually achieves it's goals before it dies (gets lost or thrown away)!. The choices you make in terms of materials, the name and goals you give it, and the way in which you launch it will determine if you are sucessful.

Ready to get started?

In order to make your blipper, you'll need to accomplish the following steps:

  1. Create an account on this site (or login if you already have one)
  2. Enter some basic information about your new BliPPer (name, goal, etc) into an online form. At this point you'll get an 8 character CODE which uniquely identifies your BliPPer.
  3. Make the blipper in whatever form or physical material you like (be creative!), incorporating the CODE you were given to your BliPPer. Make sure that when you display your BliPPer "normally", that the CODE is not visibile.
  4. Take a picture of your completed BliPPer (without the code showing), and upload the picture to this site.

That's all that's involved. Depending on how elaborate you want to be in constructing your BliPPer, this could take as little as 10-15 minutes, or it could be as complex as your creativity allows!
