	Outer Rim Putti minigolf tv-game		video
	Outer Rim Putti is an interactive mini golf game for television in Finland where playing minigolf is quite popular. The core idea is simple and crosses platforms: you use your mobile phone to try to get the ball into the hole with as few hits as possible. TV viewers play the game by sending SMS messages with commands to the provider's service number. While playing, viewers and players can also chat or send comments on the game via SMS. The messages are displayed next to the game on the split TV screen. Putti can be played alone or together with other players, just like real golf. Three dimensional golf courses, dynamic sounds, and excellent animations help to create an exciting game experience. PUTTI offers also on the Web an online editor to build golf courses. The gaming community can create their own golf courses and automatically upload them to the TV playing system. The Putti minigolf tv--game is a successful cross media application integrating television, mobile phones and the web.
