Indian Masterminds Stories

We all have played the snake ladder game in the early 2000s, when mobile phones had just started to come into the market and there were no fancy smartphones like today. It was the era of Nokia and Motorola simple phones for talking only and there were only few small entertainment segments. One was the Snake Ladder Game, where snake like grid boxes move and the player maneuvers the end of a growing line, often themed as a snake.

What would happen if this game becomes a reality in real life? Yes, 1989 batch IFS officer Susanta Nanda shared a video of a snake on Twitter, which is seen moving on a wall like in a snake ladder game. It looks scary.

The officer wrote, “Reminds me of Snake and Ladders game😊” This post went viral on social media.

Now people are reacting to it. One user commented, “Not Snakes & Ladders but yes it’s definitely reminding the classic mobile game, Snakes🤗.”

Nokia put the Snake game on majority of their phones. It was programmed in 1997 by Taneli Armanto of Nokia and introduced on the Nokia 6110. Snake II was included in the monochrome phones such as the Nokia 3310 from 2000.
