Smokescreen wins Best Game at SXSW

  • Six to Start and Channel 4’s SMOKESCREEN wins BEST GAME at the 13th SXSW Interactive Awards (Gamasutra, MCV UK)
  • Six to Start's Smokescreen wins SXSW Best Game award (Casual Gaming)

Adrian Hon, executive producer and chief creative at Six to Start: “Smokescreen is the world's first game about life online. Every time you hear about a teenager being hauled up at school because of their Facebook profile, or someone being conned out of their password on Twitter - that's what Smokescreen aims to explore. And because our game puts players in a simulation situation, we can give them an experience that is far more powerful and immersive than any other media. Winning an SXSW Web Award is a fantastic recognition of this.”

Smokescreen marks Six to Start’s third SXSW award in two years.

"One prize might  be regarded as fortune...two win two looks like carefulness."

Thank you again and see you at the next SXSW Festival
