Supersize me; BIG games [March 29, 2012, 10:57 a.m.]



 

Pirate Ball @ NU Grounds

In this task you will escape the "little world" of games as you know them, and venture into the "real world" to discover what big games are all about. From alternate reality games, to street games to new sports, you will explore new forms of play that take place in public spaces, such as city streets, parks and other non-traditional game venues, outside of the boundaries of our tabletops, consoles and desktops.

 
To complete this task choose a game from the  Ludocity or another game of your choice that loosely falls in the "real world" category, gather a group of friends to play with and write a blog post about the experience.  Try to share with us the story of game-play rather than presenting the rules of the game.
 
Here are some questions that you should try to answer in your blog post;
Was the experience fun? If yes, what was fun about it? If not, why not?
What suprised you during gameplay?
 
How did the game transform your relationships with the other players during gameplay?
 
Share a link to your blog post in the discussions and don't forget to check the games your peers played and leave comments on their posts.

If you do not have a blog already, here are some recommended places to do that:
◦ Wordpress
◦ Tumblr
◦ Posterous
