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.
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.

We find it a bit inconsiderate when folks yap away on their cell phones while on crowded public transportation, but if they’re playing with Megaphone, at least they’re being artistic and inconsiderate. (How very Dada!)
We dig Megaphone for freeing gameplay from the constraints of computer and console, and transforming the mobile device into a game controller. After all, the humble celly is one of The Big Three at Natron Baxter Applied Gaming and is, along with computers and payment cards, one of the most common ways people engage the digital spirit world. The engagement power of their voice-art example seems a bit limited, but it cracks open possibilities nonetheless.
Cheers, you Megamen and Megawomen!
