#WarGames is an interactive media production based on the 1983 movie, WarGames. The series was produced by Eko with Sam Barlow as creative lead. The production was released in six episodes starting on March 14, 2018 through Eko's website, mobile app, Nerdist.com, Steam and Vudu.

Narratively, the show follows a young group of people that are involved in the hacker culture, attempting to use their skills to create societal change. Interactively, the viewer is presented with several video feeds, representing what each of the characters is watching or doing, and can choose which one to focus on; this will affect how the work is presented to the viewer later, though will otherwise not change the narrative.
