PechaKucha on Game Ideas By- Prashasti Baid
How to ensure people play a game • Simple rules • Not much infrastructure requirement • Has a fun element to it • Does not involve prerequisite skills • Leads to some sort of learning • Sense of achievement upon winning • May be competitive
Game idea 1 • Strategy based games requiring people skills – bluffing, negotiating, planning, debating etc skills could be the basis. • Involve group participation - Should be interesting enough that people come together and play.
Game idea 1A • Such a game could be based on themes like the stock market • Can help beginners learn more about analyzing, planning, project future scenarios and learning about stock market itself (in this case). • Will simulate a real life scenario – exciting and involving competition. • Could be played in teams and see how to look at different peoples’ perspective and put the best together.
Game idea 1B • Could involve bluffing – an under cover skill required quite often. How well can you bluff, catch others who are bluffing and convince others to believe your thoughts. • It is based on analyzing expressions, what others say, reactions to others actions etc. • Thus, has to be played in real time with the group being physically together. • Lot of fun to play. Interesting each time you play due to a different set of players each time.
More game ideas… • ‘Learning a new skill’ based games – learn to drive (virtually), how to play guitar, learn a new language
Game idea 2 • Multiplayer game - Players at the same level of learning start together. • Tutorials for many levels are available • Each player gets a limited time which can be used to finish as many tutorials as desired. • Once time is up, the test starts. • Score based on how many chords can one play correctly. • The current level of test stops when both the players have made at least 3 wrong answers. • The players wishing to continue to next level can now start the clock again and continue from the next level of tutorial. • Will be digital but could be made better if we had sound recognition and players can actually play the instrument.
Game idea 2 • Instead of a musical instrument- could be about learning a new language. • Reading • Writing • Speaking
