Let the QRgames Begin!

by david

ScanLife is getting into the Olympic spirit with “ QRgames ” - launching today.  Since QR Codes are being used around London for this global event, we wanted to celebrate by rewarding you for answering some Olympic trivia. Here’s how it works:

1. Follow us @ScanLife on Twitter
2. We will tweet periodic trivia questions that have an Olympic theme, or just offer random giveaways
3. The first person to reply with the correct answer wins!

We will be giving away some official Olympic gear which we will announce each day. Also, check our special Olympic web page to see how QR Codes are being used around London 2012 to connect people to a variety of ScanLife experiences. Good luck!
