Developed with renowned game designer Jane McGonigal on behalf of the World Bank Institute, Urgent Evoke is part social game and part crash course in changing the world.

The Foresight Engine won't tell you what's going to happen in the next 50 years, but it probably knows all the same. Created with our friends at the IFTF, this online game crowdsources ideas, stretches thinking, and casts our sights toward ... the future.

AOK is a social game for social good. The currency is kindness. The collaborators are the founders
of TGO.tv and SHFT.com.

Gameful.org is a "Secret HQ for world-changing game designers" and a collaborative enterprise with
thousands of monsters hell-bent on the positive power of play.

Teh Daily Scrambler is a Twitter race to unscramble the headlines (and get newsified doing it). Just tweet @scrmblr with the #tag and your answer. Odog ckul!

If we didn't promptly answer your email last week, it was probably because we were entrenched in an Applied Gaming Workshop. These one- or many-day sessions tease the senses with Applied Gaming principles and send participants home with their very own game design toolkit (made entirely of magical ideas!).

We built Shmoozl in about the time it takes to cook a lamb, but we’re still proud of this real-time reputation minigame. It brings the simplicity of LinkedIn recommendations to the mayhem of the conference setting.

Survival Horizon is less of a game and more of a daily reminder that, hey, maybe the end of humanity is just around the corner. Developed for the IFTF's Future of Persuasion.

In the shadow of a million-dollar intranet that nobody uses, Zipline is our ongoing conversation about Knowledge Management Systems, usability, and gameplay.

Shameless Plug: Natron Baxter at Enterprise 2.0

Posted on December 22nd, 2009

Help the Baxters bring their A-Game to the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston. With your participation, we hope to do a little rabble-rousing for applied gaming and put on one helluva show. From the session description:

You don’t need virtual worlds when you game reality. The “serious game” designers at Natron Baxter explore the psychology and application of sponsored enterprise games, and propose a path toward total employee engagement: the very real human traits of curiosity, collaboration, and competition.

Selection is dependent upon public engagement, so hop over to the session proposal, tell us what you think, and dramatically increase the likelihood that we’ll send you fresh-baked cookies.

We’ll toss up one more notice when voting opens, and then never bug you about it again.

You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.
