Nokia BetaLabs Releases Nokia NFC Games

Remember that Tangible NFC Games Video we found the other day? The BetaLabs link was private at the time but it looks like it’s gone public now.

The new Nokia NFC Games open up a whole new category of mobile games which let you play with physical objects in the real world, provided you have a couple NFC Tags lying around, like Hotel Check-in Cards or NFC Enabled Contact Cards.

The three new games are:

• Nokia World Flags. which is a matching game with a twist where instead of just flipping cards, you wave your phone over physical NFC cards to magically reveal hidden flags. Almost 200 flags to match and learn.
• Nokia Shakespeare Shuffle. where you wave your phone over different NFC tags to hear parts of famous quotes from Shakespeare, and then rearrange and tap them in the right order to complete the quotes before time runs out!
• Nokia Nursery Rhyme Shuffle. which is basically a kid’s version of Shakespeare Shuffle, using instead nursery rhymes from Mother Goose, together with beautiful artwork from the early 1900’s. It is also great as a cooperative game between kids or between kids and their parents.

Apparently Nokia has more word, math and adventure games coming up as well for NFC enabled devices. Supported on the Nokia 600, 700, 701, Nokia C7 variants (Oro/Astound). Check ‘em all out over on Nokia BetaLabs.
