Scrammble Games are introduced with a goal to become a
household game set world wide - A game to stimulate learning and family
fun and bonding. Scrammble Games are also introduced as a toolkit of
educational games for schools to use to practice Make-A-Game Pedagogy
(Education Philosophy introduced by Dr. Ifay Chang). For any good game to reach such a world
wide audience, it can not be accomplished by throwing money at
advertising. Rather, it
must be able to gain players' genuine support. This genuine support must
come from the public over time, such as from public game events that receive positive feedback. Hence,
you will not see advertisement of Scrammble Games on TV or magazines
except when it is reported as news or feature articles or non-commercial
TV broadcast . But you should
hear about Scrammble's public
events such as Workshops*, Club Activities*, School Program*,
Seminars**, Game Shows***, Lectures** and Public Game
Tournaments* ** (sometimes in TV show format) whenever any organization would organize or sponsor them.
This page is devoted to the Scrammble public events and Scrammble Club
activities organized by the public in New York. This page shall be updated
frequently as more events occur and shall be expanded to cover events in
other states if they are received by MWSearch. Send inputs to
