SOLUTIONS | Interactive SMS Games: Rally

Rally is a classic interactive game that tells a story through a series of text messages and asks the user to choose from several options. Each answer moves the user along through the story. The user sends a text message to 1625 from his or her mobile phone with the word RALLY and the letter he or she has chosen.

The system responds based on the option chosen. When the user sends the correct answer, the story continues. Stories with multiple options could also be designed so that no matter what option is chosen, the user can reach a previously defined ending. Users win prizes when they are the first to finish the story or collect the most points.
