You are the Team Leader in charge of the Google's Social Gaming Group. Your big boss would like you to design a new social computing game of your choice. You are to write up a one-page executive summary on the game to convince him that this social game will be a big hit with today's Google users.

The one-page executive summary should include, but not limited to:

1. Title of the social game
2. A short description of the game
3. The motivation of choosing this game
4. The significance of the game
5. The technologies needed to make this game possible

You may include one more page of illustrations, graphs, charts, etc. to supplement the one-page executive summary.
