mind of N - Play to become a better decision maker
Download as pptx, pdf0 likes24 views
This workshop aims to make people better decision-makers by using games to detect common cognitive biases like status quo bias, confirmation bias, and anchoring bias. The workshop involves an introductory session, playing three games tailored to expose specific biases, interpreting the results, and a discussion about understanding one's own biases and how to debias behavior. The goals are for participants to gain self-awareness of how their decisions are affected by biases and to learn tools to improve decision-making.

Perception
PerceptionSyed Harib Bin Kaleem

This document discusses the concept of perception. It defines perception as how something is understood or interpreted, and more formally as how sensory information is organized, identified, and interpreted to represent and understand the environment. It provides examples of how perception affects sports outcomes and emotions. In cricket, Sachin Tendulkar was more successful than Rahul Dravid due to differing perceptions of the game, with Tendulkar loving it and Dravid just focusing on winning or losing. In the World Cup final, Germany enjoyed the moment while Argentina worried about winning due to differing perceptions. Perception also affects emotions, commitment, and responses to situations.Building Gameplay

The document summarizes different game development strategies including iteration, horizontal slice, and vertical slice. Iteration involves building a simple prototype, testing it, and improving it through repeated playtesting. Horizontal slice means building out the major parts of a game in a shallow way to determine pacing and scope. Vertical slice focuses on deeply implementing one small part of the game, like one level.Gameplay Concept Tool

The document discusses a practical framework for game design, emphasizing the need for a flexible and accessible tool that facilitates brainstorming and effective communication of gameplay concepts. It critiques traditional design documents and proposes various methodologies and tools, such as MDA and Skillatoms, that help define game mechanics, dynamics, and player experience. Ultimately, it advocates for designing games through feedback loops to foster emergence and meaningful gameplay.Week8 LIVE class 2010

The document describes a client's email to a game studio providing a parable about looking for keys where the light is rather than where they were lost. This pushed the studio to refocus their game design for a serious game about reducing risky behavior in teens to prioritize effectiveness over entertainment. The studio developed a process for transformational game design that considers how the game changes players outside of play through transfer and persistence of effects. The document discusses categorizing different types of player transformations and considering barriers to change.University of ontario lecture

This document discusses how serious games can be used for positive purposes beyond entertainment. It defines serious games as true games that achieve effects beyond just the gaming experience. Serious games are presented as a better approach than gamification, which is criticized for reducing games and not being realistic. Examples are given of how serious games can be used for health, education, and social change by motivating players, explaining concepts through interactive experiences, and using procedural rhetoric to persuade. Guidelines are suggested to ensure serious games are designed and used ethically.Secrets of Amazing Transformational Games

This document discusses how games can be used to transform players and induce meaningful change. It outlines seven ways games can make players care, including engaging curiosity, putting ego on the line, connecting to fantasies, and more. It also describes seven ways games can transform players, such as showing complex relationships, using repetition, breaking down barriers, and creating teachable moments. Finally, it notes three common pitfalls in designing transformational games, like having a flawed hypothesis of how players will change, fooling oneself about whether players care, and scope disconnects between developers and subject matter experts.Games in Non-entertainment Environments (GiNE) Perspectives on using games fo...

The document discusses designing for curiosity. It defines curiosity as being motivated by things that are novel, comprehensible, positively relevant, and safe. It suggests stoking curiosity by inviting people into experiences that are relevant, safe, and have a solvable unpredictability. Some ways to do this include providing safety so people don't feel dumb, making them care before telling them what to know, giving puzzles they can proudly solve, and gradually revealing content rather than all at once. Curiosity can be encouraged through novel experiences, surprises, hinting at hidden information, creating unresolved complexity, and offering rich possibility spaces to explore.Curiosity, Patience and Purpose: How big breakthroughs really happen

This document calls for rethinking traditional user research methods to better understand user behavior on the social web. It argues that (1) existing usability testing and other methods are outdated and don't capture how people use technology socially and contextually, (2) researchers don't know what they don't know so can't ask the right questions, and (3) new techniques are needed that combine field research and testing to understand relationships, networks and emergent behaviors online.

The document describes 6 training games that can be used at workshops to engage participants and teach important lessons. Game 1, "Push the Wall", teaches participants to focus on issues they can influence rather than issues outside their control. Game 2, "Don't Alaap Apna Raag", demonstrates the importance of standardization and working towards a common goal. Game 3, "Sky is the Limit", encourages participants to challenge themselves and realize their potential. Game 4, "Ruk Jana Nahin", shows that many perceived obstacles do not actually exist.

UNI Concept Proposal UN Green Helmets Ministry of Peace Foundational SecurityLHelferty
油
This concept proposal from UnityNet International introduces a油paradigm shift in global peace and security, moving beyond traditional military defense.
It advocates for the creation of油"Green Helmets" or "Living Helmets,"油which are Regenerative Peacekeeping Forces (#RPFs) focused on油regenerative development, climate resilience, and foundational human security.
These forces would deploy with resources like green infrastructure and water systems to assist communities, rather than weapons, aiming to prevent conflict by addressing root causes such as resource scarcity and climate instability.
The proposal suggests establishing a油Ministry of Peace and Foundational Security油within member states to coordinate these efforts and reallocate national budgets to prioritize regenerative, civilian peacekeeping alongside military defense.
Key Topics:
-Regenerative Peacekeeping Forces
-Ministry of Peace
-Green Helmets
-Climate Resilience
