MultiPlay.io is a UK-based [multiplatform system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aa-play) that’s designed to create and edit [3D multiplayer mobile games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shape-of-dreams) on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. This system is not your average platform, however. MultiPlay.io actually incorporates real-life events and characters into the games being played.

Gamers can weave real-life events into their games by using 3D animations. It's a fun way to incorporate the current events to one's past time activities, whereby adding another dimension of humor of games being played. The platform will surely also be serving the purpose of blurring the line between what is real and what is not even more, which is exhilarating news at best.

“We’re using a clever way of splitting the game logic that lets you change the game on the fly, as easy as a drag-and-drop task in a browser,” explained co-founder Ashraf Samy Hegab. I can already see some intellectual gamers induce a cultural reference attack upon themselves with it.
