The Playtime Anti-Boredom Society is an independent game design and consulting collective comprised of Sean Mahan, Sam Lavigne, and Ian Kizu-Blair. The trio launched SFZero, the world's first online/offline mission-based game, in 2006. Since beginning in San Francisco, SFZero has grown to include players in Alaska, London, Baghdad, and many places in between. The group's other games include Flashback, created for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's American History and Civics Initiative; Ghosts of a Chance, produced for the Smithsonian American Art Museum; and Journey to the End of the Night, a free street game. In all of its projects, The Playtime Anti-Boredom Society creates new ways of experiencing the world through play.
