My name's Seth Priebatsch. I'm the chief ninja of SCVNGR.

3000
我叫Seth Priebatsch。我是SCVNGR公司的首席忍者。
00:18
I am a proud Princeton dropout.
1
3000
2000
我也因普里斯顿大学辍学而感到自豪。
00:20
Also proud to have relocated here to Boston,
2
5000
2000
同时也很自豪能够回到波士顿创业，
00:22
where I actually grew up.
3
7000
2000
这是我长大的地方。
00:24
Yeah, Boston.
4
9000
2000
是的，波士顿。
00:26
Easy wins. I should just go and name the counties that we've got around here.
5
11000
3000
我去过很多不同地方，阐述这种概念。
00:29
So, I'm also fairly determined to try and build
6
14000
2000
我决定要去尝试，
00:31
a game layer on top of the world.
7
16000
2000
建立一个超级棒的游戏社交圈。
00:33
And this is sort of a new concept, and it's really important.
8
18000
2000
这是一种新的概念，很重要的概念。
00:35
Because while the last decade
9
20000
2000
因为过去十年
00:37
was the decade of social
10
22000
2000
是网络社交的黄金十年，
00:39
and the decade of where the framework
11
24000
2000
这十年里
00:41
in which we connect with other people was built,
12
26000
2000
人们在网上联系彼此的平台开始出现，
00:43
this next decade will be the decade where
13
28000
2000
下一个十年，
00:45
the game framework is built,
14
30000
2000
将是游戏社交平台建立的时候，
00:47
where the motivations that we use to actually influence behavior,
15
32000
3000
影响人们行为的动机，
00:50
and the framework in which that is constructed,
16
35000
2000
以及游戏社交平台，
00:52
is decided upon, and that's really important.
17
37000
2000
都会逐渐建立起来，这很重要。
00:54
And so I say that I want to build a game layer on top of the world,
18
39000
3000
所以，我说我想建设一个超级棒的游戏社交圈，
00:57
but that's not quite true
19
42000
2000
这并不十分准确，
00:59
because it's already under construction; it's already happening.
20
44000
2000
因为这个社交圈已经开始建立了：这已经在发生了。
01:01
And it looks like this right now.
21
46000
2000
现在的情况就像这样。
01:03
It looks like the Web did back in 1997, right?
22
48000
3000
这很像1997年的电脑页面对不对？
01:06
It's not very good. It's cluttered.
23
51000
2000
不太好。很拥挤的页面。
01:08
It's filled with lots of different things
24
53000
2000
它充斥着很多信息。
01:10
that, in short, aren't that fun.
25
55000
2000
一句话，不怎么好。
01:12
There are credit card schemes and airline mile programs
26
57000
3000
这有信用卡刷卡方案、飞行里程计划、
01:15
and coupon cards and all these loyalty schemes
27
60000
3000
优惠券和其它很多提升客户忠诚度的计划。
01:18
that actually do use game dynamics
28
63000
2000
它们都利用人们玩游戏的动机
01:20
and actually are building the game layer: they just suck.
29
65000
3000
来建立游戏社交圈，但这些游戏动机很糟糕。
01:23
They're not very well designed, right?
30
68000
3000
这种消费游戏设计的不好，对吧?
01:26
So, that's unfortunate.
31
71000
2000
这太糟糕了。
01:28
But luckily, as my favorite action hero,
32
73000
2000
幸运的是，正如我最喜欢的动作巨星，
01:30
Bob the Builder, says,
33
75000
2000
建筑师巴布（Bob the Builder欧美卡通影片）说的，
01:32
"We can do better. We can build this better."
34
77000
2000
“我们可以做的更好。我们可以盖出更好的建筑。”
01:34
And the tools, the resources
35
79000
2000
其实，我们用来建设游戏圈的
01:36
that we use to build a game layer
36
81000
2000
工具、资源
01:38
are game dynamics themselves.
37
83000
2000
就是玩游戏的动机。
01:40
And so, sort of, the crux of this presentation is going to go through
38
85000
2000
所以我今天演讲的关键就是
01:42
four really important game dynamics, really interesting things,
39
87000
3000
四种重要的玩游戏的动机，非常有趣，
01:45
that, if you use consciously,
40
90000
2000
如果你意识到，
01:47
you can use to influence behavior,
41
92000
3000
你就可以用这些动机来影响人们的行为，
01:50
both for good, for bad, for in-between.
42
95000
2000
既可以朝着好的方面施加影响，也可以带来坏的影响，或者让它们同时发生。
01:52
Hopefully for good.
43
97000
2000
当然我们希望是好的影响。
01:54
But this is sort of the important stages
44
99000
2000
平台建设是
01:56
in which that framework will get built,
45
101000
2000
很重要的阶段，
01:58
and so we want to all be thinking about it consciously now.
46
103000
3000
所以现在我们都要自然而然地思考这个问题。
02:01
Just before we jump into that, there's sort of a question of: why is this important?
47
106000
3000
当我们开始讨论这个问题之前，还有一个问题，那就是：为什么重要？
02:04
I'm sort of making this claim that there is a game layer on top of the world,
48
109000
3000
为什么我刚才说的建设最棒的游戏社交网络
02:07
and that it's very important that we build it properly.
49
112000
3000
非常重要。
02:10
The reason that it's so important is that, the last decade,
50
115000
2000
重要的原因是，最近十年，
02:12
what we've seen has been building the social layer,
51
117000
3000
建立的网络社交圈，
02:15
has been this framework for connections,
52
120000
3000
也就是网上人与人的联系，
02:18
and construction on that layer is over, it's finished.
53
123000
3000
这种社交网络的建设已经完成了。
02:21
There's still a lot to explore.
54
126000
2000
但是还有很多值得开发的地方。
02:23
There's still a lot of people who are trying to figure out social
55
128000
2000
仍然有很多人试着提升这种网络平台，
02:25
and how do we leverage this and how do we use this,
56
130000
2000
摸索如何使用这个平台，
02:27
but the framework itself is done,
57
132000
2000
但是这平台本身已经搭建起来了，
02:29
and it's called Facebook.
58
134000
3000
叫做Facebook。
02:32
And that's okay, right? A lot of people are very happy with Facebook.
59
137000
3000
平台已经建成也没有关系，不是吗？很多人很喜欢Facebook。
02:35
I like it quite a lot.
60
140000
2000
我也很喜欢。
02:37
They've created this thing called the Open Graph,
61
142000
2000
它们搭建了所谓的“开放列表Open Graph”，
02:39
and they own all of our connections.
62
144000
2000
它可以拥有所有使用者的关系资料。
02:41
They own half a billion people.
63
146000
2000
FACEBOOK拥有5亿人的资料。
02:43
And so when you want to build on the social layer,
64
148000
2000
所以当你想建立社交关系网时，
02:45
the framework has been decided; it is the Open Graph API.
65
150000
3000
这个平台已经搭建好了，也就是开放列表应用程序（Open Graph API）。
02:48
And if you're happy with that, fantastic.
66
153000
2000
如果你很乐意使用它，那就太好了。
02:50
If you're not, too bad. There's nothing you can do.
67
155000
3000
如果你不高兴用它，很可惜。我们无能为力。
02:53
But this next decade -- and that's a real thing.
68
158000
3000
但是下一个十年——一定会有事情发生。
02:56
I mean, we want to build frameworks
69
161000
2000
我的意思是，我们想建立一个平台-
02:58
in a way that makes it acceptable
70
163000
3000
一个人人都能读取
03:01
and makes it, you know, productive down the road.
71
166000
2000
和改变信息的平台，这个平台会不断丰富。
03:03
So, the social layer is all about these connections.
72
168000
3000
网络社交圈是处理人与人关系的，
03:06
The game layer is all about influence.
73
171000
2000
而游戏社交圈全是有关影响力的平台。
03:08
It's not about adding a social fabric to the Web
74
173000
2000
并不是简单地在网上增加一个社会联系
03:10
and connecting you to other people
75
175000
2000
而是把你和其他人联系起来，
03:12
everywhere you are and everywhere you go.
76
177000
2000
无论你在哪里和要去哪里。
03:14
It's actually about using dynamics, using forces,
77
179000
3000
它完全利用的是某种动力、影响力，
03:17
to influence the behavior
78
182000
2000
来影响人们
03:19
of where you are, what you do there, how you do it.
79
184000
2000
在哪里，去哪里以及怎样行动的方式。
03:21
That's really, really powerful, and it's going to be more important than the social layer.
80
186000
3000
这种方式真的很强大，比网络社交圈更加重要。
03:24
It's going to affect our lives more deeply
81
189000
2000
它会更深刻地影响到人们的生活，
03:26
and perhaps more invisibly.
82
191000
2000
或许以更无形的方式。
03:28
And so it's incredibly critical
83
193000
2000
所以游戏社交圈无比重要，
03:30
that at this moment, while it's just getting constructed,
84
195000
2000
此时，我们刚刚开始建立它，
03:32
while the frameworks like Facebook, like the Open Graph,
85
197000
3000
我们认为游戏社交圈
03:35
are being created for the game layer equivalent,
86
200000
2000
堪与Facebook和开放列表这样的平台并驾齐驱，
03:37
that we think about it very consciously,
87
202000
2000
我们认为这是非常准确的，
03:39
and that we do it in a way that is open,
88
204000
2000
我们把它做成一个开放的、
03:41
that is available, and that can be leveraged for good.
89
206000
2000
每个人都能够使用的、不断提升的平台。
03:43
And so that's what I want to talk about for game dynamics,
90
208000
2000
这也就是我所提到的游戏动机，
03:45
because construction has just begun,
91
210000
2000
因为建设才刚刚开始，
03:47
and the more consciously we can think about this,
92
212000
2000
我们设想的越精确，
03:49
the better we'll be able to use it
93
214000
2000
我们就能够更好地利用它
03:51
for anything that we want.
94
216000
2000
来做任何我们想让它实现的事情。
03:53
So like I said, the way that you go through and build on the game layer
95
218000
3000
就像我刚才说的，我们建设这个游戏社交圈的方式
03:56
is not with glass and steel and cement.
96
221000
3000
并不是用玻璃、钢筋和水泥。
03:59
And the resources that we use are not this
97
224000
2000
我们所用的资源并不是
04:01
two-dimensional swath of land that we have.
98
226000
3000
屏幕上的两维的平面地图。
04:04
The resources are mindshare and the tools, the raw materials are these game dynamics.
99
229000
3000
而是俘获的人们心灵，我们的工具和原材料就是人们玩游戏的动机。
04:07
So with that, you know, a couple game dynamics to talk about.
100
232000
3000
所以今天我就主要谈一谈玩游戏的四个动机。
04:10
Four. Back at SCVNGR, we like to joke
101
235000
2000
在SCVNGR的时候，我们总开玩笑说，
04:12
that with seven game dynamics, you can get anyone to do anything.
102
237000
3000
如果有7个玩游戏的动机的话，我们就能让任何人做任何事情。
04:15
And so today, I'm going to show you four,
103
240000
2000
今天我给大家介绍四种，
04:17
because I hope to have a competitive advantage at the end of this, still.
104
242000
3000
因为我想保留一些，以保证我的相对优势。
04:20
(Laughter)
105
245000
3000
（笑声）
04:23
So the first one, it's a very simple game dynamic.
106
248000
2000
第一个，很简单的玩游戏的动机。
04:25
It's called the appointment dynamic.
107
250000
2000
它叫做约定动机appointment dynamic。
04:27
And this is a dynamic in which to succeed,
108
252000
2000
要想使这种动机发挥作用，
04:29
players have to do something at a predefined time,
109
254000
2000
参与游戏者需要在约定的时间做某种事情，
04:31
generally at a predefined place.
110
256000
2000
通常也约定好了地点。
04:33
And these dynamics are a little scary sometimes,
111
258000
2000
有时这种动机有些吓人，
04:35
because you think, you know,
112
260000
2000
因为，你可以设想，
04:37
other people can be using forces that will manipulate
113
262000
2000
其他人可能用这种力量来控制
04:39
how I interact: what I do, where I do it, when I do it.
114
264000
3000
人们该如何交流，做什么，在什么地方做以及什么时候去做。
04:42
This sort of loss of free will that occurs in games
115
267000
2000
在游戏过程中，这种自由的丧失确实存在
04:44
can be frightening,
116
269000
2000
有些恐怖，
04:46
so with each dynamic, I'm going to give three examples:
117
271000
2000
每种动机我都会举三个例子——
04:48
one that shows how this is already being used in the real world,
118
273000
3000
一个是已经在真实世界中应用的例子，
04:51
so you can sort of rationalize it a little bit;
119
276000
2000
所以你们可以更好地体会它，
04:53
one that shows it in what we consider a conventional game --
120
278000
3000
另一个是指出它在传统游戏中表现——
04:56
I think everything is a game, but this is sort of
121
281000
2000
我认为所有的事情都是游戏，
04:58
more of a what you would think is a game played on a board or on a computer screen,
122
283000
3000
这与棋盘游戏或者电脑游戏很相似，
05:01
and then one how this can be used for good,
123
286000
2000
最后一个例子是如何向着好的方向利用这种动机，
05:03
so we can see that these forces can really be very powerful.
124
288000
2000
由此我们可以看到这些力量是如何的强大。
05:05
So the first one -- the most famous appointment dynamic in the world --
125
290000
3000
第一个例子——也就是世界上有关约定动机的最有名的例子——
05:08
is something called happy hour.
126
293000
3000
被称作快乐时刻（注：欧美酒吧里的减价时段）的例子。
05:11
So I just recently dropped out of Princeton
127
296000
3000
因为我刚刚从普林斯顿辍学，
05:14
and actually ended up for the first time in a bar,
128
299000
2000
第一次在酒吧中结束学业生涯，
05:16
and I saw these happy hour things all over the place, right.
129
301000
3000
我发现在很多地方都有这种优惠时段。
05:19
And this is simply an appointment dynamic.
130
304000
2000
这是一种简单的约定动机。
05:21
Come here at a certain time, get your drinks half off.
131
306000
2000
在特定的时间到这里聚会，喝一杯半价饮料。
05:23
To win, all you have to do is show up at the right place at the right time.
132
308000
3000
为了好处，你会在特定时间出现在特定地方。
05:27
This game dynamic is so powerful
133
312000
2000
这种游戏动力如此强大，
05:29
that it doesn't just influence our behavior, it's influenced our entire culture.
134
314000
3000
以至于它不仅影响到我们的行为，还影响了整个文化。
05:32
That's a really scary thought,
135
317000
2000
这确实让人害怕，
05:34
that one game dynamic can change things so powerfully.
136
319000
3000
一种玩游戏的动机居然使事情发生如此大的改变。
05:37
It also exists in more conventional game forms.
137
322000
2000
这种动机也存在于很多传统游戏中。
05:39
I'm sure you've all heard of Farmville by now.
138
324000
2000
我敢肯定你们都听说过了美国农场游戏Farmville。
05:41
If you haven't, I recommend playing it.
139
326000
2000
如果你没听过，我推荐你玩一下。
05:43
You won't do anything else with the rest of your day.
140
328000
2000
有了它，一天的其他时间里你都不会再去做别的事了。
05:45
Farmville has more active users than Twitter.
141
330000
3000
美国农场游戏Farmville的用户比Twitter的用户还活跃。
05:48
It's incredibly powerful, and it has this dynamic
142
333000
2000
它的力量是如此的强大，能让你
05:50
where you have to return at a certain time
143
335000
2000
在特定的时刻赶回来玩游戏，
05:52
to water your crops -- fake crops -- or they wilt.
144
337000
3000
为你的庄稼浇水——虚拟的庄稼——否则它们就枯萎了。
05:55
And this is so powerful that, when they tweak their stats,
145
340000
3000
它的力量如此强大，当信息显示，
05:58
when they say your crops wilt
146
343000
2000
你的庄稼会在
06:00
after eight hours, or after six hours, or after 24 hours,
147
345000
3000
8个小时、6个小时或者24个小时之后枯萎，
06:03
it changes the lifecycle
148
348000
2000
它就能改变这一天
06:05
of 70 million-some people during the day.
149
350000
2000
7千万人的生物钟。
06:07
They will return like clockwork at different times.
150
352000
3000
他们会像闹钟一样准时地在不同时间回来给庄稼浇水。
06:10
So if they wanted the world to end, if they wanted productivity to stop,
151
355000
3000
如果制定游戏的人想要农场倒闭，生产力停滞，
06:13
they could make this a 30-minute cycle,
152
358000
2000
他们可以把浇水的周期改为30分钟，
06:15
and no one could do anything else, right?
153
360000
2000
所有人就无法做其他事情了。
06:17
(Laughter)
154
362000
2000
（笑声）
06:19
That's a little scary.
155
364000
2000
这有些恐怖。
06:21
But this could also be used for good.
156
366000
2000
但是也可以用这种动机做好事。
06:23
This is a local company called Vitality, and they've created a product
157
368000
2000
有一个本地的企业叫做Vitality，他们生产一种产品
06:25
to help people take their medicine on time.
158
370000
2000
来帮助人们按时吃药。
06:27
That's an appointment.
159
372000
2000
这是一种约定。
06:29
It's something that people don't do very well.
160
374000
2000
在这个方面，有时人们表现的并不好。
06:31
And they have these GlowCaps, which, you know, flash and email you
161
376000
3000
所以他们就制造了GlowCaps，能够闪烁，还能够给你发邮件
06:34
and do all sorts of cool things to remind you to take your medicine.
162
379000
2000
还会做一些其他有趣的事情来提醒你吃药。
06:36
This is one that isn't a game yet, but really should be.
163
381000
2000
这不太像是一种游戏，但实际上它是。
06:38
You should get points for doing this on time.
164
383000
2000
当你按时吃药的话，你就能够得分。
06:40
You should lose points for not doing this on time.
165
385000
2000
没有做到就要被扣分。
06:42
They should consciously recognize
166
387000
2000
他们应该意识到
06:44
that they've built an appointment dynamic and leverage the games.
167
389000
2000
他们已经拥有了约定动机，提升了游戏的水平。
06:46
And then you can really achieve good in some interesting ways.
168
391000
3000
你确实可以巧妙地利用这一动机做些好事。
06:49
We're going to jump onto the next one, maybe. Yes.
169
394000
2000
或许我们可以开始讨论下一个动机了。
06:51
Influence and status.
170
396000
2000
影响力和地位Influence and status。
06:53
So this is one of the most famous game dynamics.
171
398000
2000
这是最出名的游戏动机之一。
06:55
It's used all over the place.
172
400000
2000
在很多地方都可以利用它。
06:57
It's used in your wallets, right now.
173
402000
2000
你的钱包里现在就有它。
06:59
We all want that credit card on the far left
174
404000
2000
我们都想拥有最左边那张信用卡，
07:01
because it's black.
175
406000
2000
因为它是美国运通顶级黑卡。
07:03
And you see someone at CVS or --
176
408000
2000
你会见到在财富五百强工作的人或者——
07:05
not CVS -- at Christian Dior or something, and then ...
177
410000
3000
不是财富五百强——在迪奥或者别的什么精品店，这张卡会出现，
07:08
I don't know. I don't have a black card; I've got a debit card.
178
413000
3000
我不大清楚，因为我没有运通黑卡，我只有一张借记卡。
07:11
(Laughter)
179
416000
3000
（笑声）
07:14
So they whip it out. And you see men, they have that black card.
180
419000
2000
他们把卡拿出来。你会看着这个人，哇，他们有运通黑卡。
07:16
I want that because that means that they're cooler than I am,
181
421000
2000
我也想要有这样的卡片因为这张卡意味着身份高人一等，
07:18
and I need that.
182
423000
2000
所以我也想要一个。
07:20
And this is used in games as well.
183
425000
2000
游戏中也有这种动机。
07:22
"Modern Warfare," one of the most successful selling games of all time.
184
427000
3000
“魔兽世界”是一款卖的最好的游戏。
07:25
I'm only a level four, but I desperately want to be a level 10,
185
430000
3000
我现在只玩到了4级，我特别想达到10级，
07:28
because they've got that cool red badge thing,
186
433000
2000
因为到达十级后就可以拿到很酷的红色勋章，
07:30
and that means that I am somehow better than everyone else.
187
435000
3000
意味着我比其他人都棒。
07:33
And that's very powerful to me. Status is really good motivator.
188
438000
3000
这对我很有吸引力。地位确实是很强的动力。
07:36
It's also used in more conventional settings
189
441000
2000
在很传统的地方也会有地位发挥作用的情况，
07:38
and can be used more consciously in conventional settings.
190
443000
3000
并且可以在这些地方更加刻意地利用它。
07:41
School -- and remember, I made it through one year,
191
446000
3000
比如学校——别忘了我还上过一学年，
07:44
so I think I'm qualified to talk on school --
192
449000
2000
所以我还是有资格谈论学校的——
07:46
is a game, it's just not a terribly well-designed game, right.
193
451000
3000
它就是一个游戏，是一款设计的不那么好的游戏。
07:49
There are levels. There are C. There are B. There is A.
194
454000
3000
那里也有等级，包括C等,B等,A等。
07:52
There are statuses. I mean, what is valedictorian, but a status?
195
457000
3000
这里有地位之分。我的意思是，如果把毕业生致辞比作地位？
07:55
If we called valedictorian a "white knight paladin level 20,"
196
460000
4000
如果我们把毕业生致辞的地位命名为“白爵士圣骑士二十级”，
07:59
I think people would probably work a lot harder.
197
464000
3000
我认为同学们会更加努力的学习。
08:02
(Laughter)
198
467000
2000
（笑声）
08:05
So school is a game, and there have been lots of experimentations
199
470000
3000
所以学校就是一个游戏场。我们可以做很多实验
08:08
on how we do this properly.
200
473000
2000
尝试把学校办的更好。
08:10
But let's use it consciously. Like why have games that you can lose?
201
475000
3000
让我们自觉地利用它。比如为什么制定会输的游戏？
08:13
Why go from an A to an F or a B to a C?
202
478000
2000
为什么会从A到F，从B到C？
08:15
That sucks. Why not level-up?
203
480000
2000
这太糟了。为什么不能晋级？
08:17
And at Princeton, they've actually experimented with this,
204
482000
2000
在普里斯顿，他们正实验着这么做，
08:19
where they have quizzes where you gain experience points,
205
484000
2000
有一些可以得到经验分的小测试，
08:21
and you level up from B to an A.
206
486000
2000
可以从B等升到A等。
08:23
And it's very powerful.
207
488000
2000
这种力量很强大。
08:25
It can be used in interesting ways.
208
490000
3000
人们可以采取各种有趣的形式利用它。
08:28
The third one I want to talk about quickly is the progression dynamic,
209
493000
2000
第三个我想快速讲一下的是进步动机progression dynamic，
08:30
where you have to sort of make progress,
210
495000
2000
当你不得不进步的时候，
08:32
you have to move through different steps in a very granular fashion.
211
497000
3000
你很规律地一步一步前进。
08:35
This is used all over the place, including LinkedIn,
212
500000
3000
这种动机在各地都适用，包括Linkedln（注：Linkedln是注册者职业履历网络社交）,
08:38
where I am an un-whole individual.
213
503000
2000
我并没有全部完成。
08:40
I am only 85 percent complete on LinkedIn,
214
505000
3000
只完成了85%，
08:43
and that bothers me.
215
508000
2000
我很在意这个。
08:45
And this is so deep-seated in our psyche
216
510000
3000
这种进步的动机在每个人身上如此根深蒂固
08:48
that when we're presented with a progress bar
217
513000
2000
以至于当我们面对一个有进度条的任务，
08:50
and presented with easy, granular steps
218
515000
2000
它会细分成很多小的步骤，
08:52
to take to try and complete that progress bar, we will do it.
219
517000
3000
让你会愿意尝试完成这个进度条，
08:55
We will find a way to move that blue line
220
520000
2000
我们会尽力移动那条蓝线，
08:57
all the way to the right edge of the screen.
221
522000
3000
一直移到屏幕的最右边。
09:00
This is used in conventional games as well.
222
525000
2000
这一动机在传统的游戏中也有所体现。
09:02
I mean, you see this is a paladin level 10,
223
527000
2000
我的意思是，你看这是圣骑士10级，
09:04
and that's a paladin level 20,
224
529000
2000
那是圣骑士20级，
09:06
and if you were going to fight, you know, orcs on the fields of Mordor
225
531000
3000
当各位将士准备前往摩多
09:09
against the Raz al Ghul,
226
534000
2000
攻击半兽人，
09:11
you'd probably want to be the bigger one, right.
227
536000
2000
你或许想用那个大块头，对吧。
09:13
I would.
228
538000
2000
我会想要右边的。
09:15
And so people work very hard to level-up.
229
540000
2000
所以人们拼了命想升级。
09:17
"World of Warcraft" is one of the most successful games of all time.
230
542000
3000
“魔兽世界”是一款卖的很好的游戏。
09:20
The average player spends something like
231
545000
2000
平均每个玩家每天花大概
09:22
six, six-and-a-half hours a day on it.
232
547000
2000
6到6.5个小时玩这个游戏。
09:24
Their most dedicated players, it's like a full-time job.
233
549000
3000
最专注的玩家，恐怕是全职的。
09:27
It's insane. And they have these systems where you can level-up.
234
552000
3000
这简直是疯了。游戏系统规定可以升级。
09:30
And that's a very powerful thing. Progression is powerful.
235
555000
3000
这个很强大。进步的驱动力是巨大的。
09:34
It can also be used in very compelling ways for good.
236
559000
3000
这也可以被用来做好事。
09:37
One of the things that we work on at SCVNGR
237
562000
2000
我们在SCVNGR做的一件事情就是
09:39
is how do you use games to drive traffic and drive business to local businesses,
238
564000
3000
想出利用游戏的手法，对当地企业进行操作，
09:42
to sort of something that is very key to the economy.
239
567000
2000
这对经济发展非常重要。
09:44
And here we have a game that people play.
240
569000
3000
这里我们给大家设计了这样一个游戏，
09:47
They go places, they do challenges, they earn points.
241
572000
2000
他们到一个地方，完成挑战，赢得经验值。
09:49
And we've introduced a progression dynamic into it,
242
574000
2000
我们已经把进步动力的方式引入游戏之中，
09:51
where, by going to the same place over and over,
243
576000
2000
人们通过一次次到相同的地方，
09:53
by doing challenges, by engaging with the business,
244
578000
2000
不断地完成挑战，参与经济活动，
09:55
you move a green bar from the left edge of the screen to the right edge of the screen,
245
580000
3000
会使的一根绿色的进度条从屏幕的左边不断向右边推移，
09:58
and you eventually unlock rewards.
246
583000
2000
最终你能得到奖赏。
10:00
And this is powerful enough that we can see
247
585000
2000
这种方法也很有效，
10:02
that it hooks people into these dynamics,
248
587000
2000
它能够激起人们的进步动机，
10:04
pulls them back to the same local businesses,
249
589000
2000
不断把他们拉回到同一个当地企业，
10:06
creates huge loyalty, creates engagement,
250
591000
2000
建立巨大的客户忠诚和亲密关系，
10:08
and is able to drive meaningful revenue
251
593000
2000
这给企业带来了可观的收入，
10:10
and fun and engagement to businesses.
252
595000
2000
娱乐和承诺。
10:12
These progression dynamics are powerful
253
597000
2000
这种进步的动机很强
10:14
and can be used in the real world.
254
599000
2000
可以在现实生活中使用。
10:16
The final one I want to talk about -- and it's a great one to end on --
255
601000
3000
我最后想讲的是——用来结尾很好的例子是——
10:19
is this concept of communal discovery,
256
604000
2000
社群探索的概念，
10:21
a dynamic in which everyone has to work together
257
606000
3000
人们需要一起工作
10:24
to achieve something.
258
609000
2000
来达到某个目标的动机。
10:26
And communal discovery is powerful because it leverages
259
611000
2000
社群探索有影响力的原因是因为
10:28
the network that is society
260
613000
2000
它能够利用人际网络
10:30
to solve problems.
261
615000
3000
解决各种问题。
10:33
This is used in some sort of famous consumer web stories,
262
618000
3000
它多用于著名的网上店铺，
10:36
like Digg, which I'm sure you've all heard of.
263
621000
2000
例如Digg（注：社群新闻站点）,我相信你们都听说过。
10:38
Digg is a communal dynamic
264
623000
2000
Digg就是一个社群动力
10:40
to try to find and source the best news,
265
625000
2000
寻找最好的新闻，
10:42
the most interesting stories.
266
627000
2000
最有趣的故事。
10:44
And they made this into a game, initially.
267
629000
2000
起初，这就是一种游戏。
10:46
They had a leader board, where, if you recommended the best stories,
268
631000
3000
当你推荐的某个故事上了网站首页，
10:49
you would get points.
269
634000
2000
你会得到加分。
10:51
And that really motivated people to find the best stories.
270
636000
2000
这激励人们去寻找最好的故事。
10:53
But it became so powerful that there was actually a cabal,
271
638000
3000
这很有影响力，很像某种帮派，
10:56
a group of people, the top seven on the leader board,
272
641000
3000
也就是一群人，领袖榜的前七个，
10:59
who would work together to make sure they maintained that position.
273
644000
3000
他们会通力合作保证他们的位置。
11:02
And they would recommend other people's stories,
274
647000
2000
他们会推荐彼此的故事。
11:04
and the game became more powerful than the goal.
275
649000
2000
游戏的过程变得比目标达成的影响力更大。
11:06
And they actually had to end up shutting down the leader board
276
651000
2000
最后，霸占主页成为主要的目标，
11:08
because while it was effective,
277
653000
2000
当这种情形发生时，
11:10
it was so powerful that it stopped sourcing the best stories
278
655000
2000
社群动力就会使参与者不再推荐好故事，
11:12
and started having people work to maintain their leadership.
279
657000
3000
并且，有些人开始专门为了维持领导地位忙活。
11:15
So we have to use this one carefully.
280
660000
2000
所以我们必须谨慎使用这一动机。
11:17
It's also used in things like McDonald's Monopoly,
281
662000
2000
再举一个例子，像麦当劳大富翁游戏（麦当劳从1987年开始在欧美的促销活动，在麦当劳店里玩类似大富翁的游戏。），
11:19
where the game is not the Monopoly game you're playing,
282
664000
2000
这不像我们平常玩的大富翁游戏，
11:21
but the sort of cottage industries that form
283
666000
2000
消费者会像寻找农舍一样
11:23
to try and find Boardwalk, right.
284
668000
2000
寻找滨海长堤（Boardwalk，纽泽西州大西洋城明景）。
11:25
And now they're just looking for a little sticker that says "Boardwalk."
285
670000
3000
他们都希望找到一种有“滨海长堤”的小贴纸（抽中此贴纸通常都有大奖）。
11:28
But it can also be used to find real things.
286
673000
2000
这能够用于寻找真实存在的东西。
11:30
This is the DARPA balloon challenge,
287
675000
2000
DARPA（美国国防高级研究规划局）推出了气球挑战赛，
11:32
where they hid a couple balloons all across the United States
288
677000
3000
他们随机在美国境内放了10个气球
11:35
and said, "Use networks.
289
680000
2000
他们宣布“请使用网络，
11:37
Try and find these balloons fastest, and the winner will get $40,000."
290
682000
3000
最快找到这些气球的人会得到4万美元奖金。”
11:40
And the winner was actually a group out of MIT,
291
685000
2000
拿走奖金的是麻省理工的一个团队，
11:42
where they created sort of a pyramid scheme, a network,
292
687000
2000
他们制作了一个类似于老鼠会的网站，
11:44
where the first person to recommend the location of a balloon
293
689000
2000
第一个到网站报告气球位置的人
11:46
got $2,000 and anyone else to push that recommendation up
294
691000
3000
就能拿到2000美元，并且把这个消息传给
11:49
also got a cut of it.
295
694000
2000
其他人就能够分到一些。
11:51
And in 12 hours, they were able to find
296
696000
2000
12个小时后，他们发现了

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Seth Priebatsch - Entrepreneur"Proud Princeton dropout" Seth Priebatsch runs SCVNGR, a mobile start-up trying to build the game layer on top of the world.
Why you should listen
Two things you'll notice about Seth Priebatsch: One, his infectious, get-you-out-of-your-chair enthusiasm. Two, the inventory of entrepreneurial feats he's managed to accumulate at a remarkably young age. The 21-year-old founded his first startup at age 12, and by age 18, he'd founded another -- PostcardTech, which makes interactive marketing tours for CD-ROM.
Now he's working on SCVNGR, "a massive experiment in building a mobile game together." Backed by Google Ventures, SCVNGR is part game, part game platform. Players play SCVNGR by going places, doing challenges and having fun -- outside of the office, beyond the screen, in the real world. Organizations use SCVNGR by building on the game layer by adding their own challenges to the places they care about.
