Moby is supplying three games in the first phase: Vote For Me, where you have to be as funny as possible to win the votes of the other players. Mobile Monsters, a duel game in which you challenge a friend to hunt monsters. PinPoc, a knowledge-based quiz game where contestants compete to answer questions about a wide variety of subjects ranging from geography to pop stars.
