Garage48 is one of the best event formats I have seen and experienced. I wrote a first person post on the experience.

I have a business background, but also have a basic understanding what can be achieved with different languages. These events are definitely needed to spur interest towards creating interesting web applications (and startups).

Blow the dust - Facebook | Twitter | Youtube Mobile game. Imagine gold miner going to a planet? Find nuggets, covered with layer of dust. Use power of your lungs to blow off the dust (via microphone of mobile phone). More interesting features might come (too fast, too slow). Lets figure out the mechanics, it's going to be a fun game.

Lol, gives me an idea for a similar "game"

Isn't this an exact copy of the Startup Weekend concept ?

More or less probably yes (or Launch48, or 24 Hour Business Camp, or many other similar programs). None of us organizers have been to any of other events, so hard to compare. We have set it up so it works well in our region. We're also looking to do 5-6 Garage48 events in Africa this year.
