EVOKE was produced by the World Bank Institute and is touted as "a ten-week crash course in changing the world".
Players who successfully complete each of the 10 game challenges, will be able to claim the honor: Certified EVOKE Social Innovator – Class of 2010
From the UrgentEvoke Website:
"Top players will also earn online mentorships with experienced social innovators and business leaders from around the world, seed funding for new ventures, and travel scholarships to share their vision for the future at the EVOKE Summit in Washington DC."
The first challenge appears to have to do with a fictitious future food crisis in Japan, which is based upon real world concerns regarding Japan's dependency upon imports for food.
According to one real-world news article, less than 40% of the average Japanese diet is domestic.
I hope to see you on the Evoke Network!
