ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jane McGonigal - Game Designer
Reality is broken, says Jane McGonigal, and we need to make it work more like a game. Her work shows us how.

Why you should listen

Jane McGonigal asks: Why doesn't the real world work more like an online game? In the best-designed games, our human experience is optimized: We have important work to do, we're surrounded by potential collaborators, and we learn quickly and in a low-risk environment. In her work as a game designer, she creates games that use mobile and digital technologies to turn everyday spaces into playing fields, and everyday people into teammates. Her game-world insights can explain--and improve--the way we learn, work, solve problems, and lead our real lives. She served as the director of game R&D at the Institute for the Future, and she is the founder of Gameful, which she describes as "a secret headquarters for worldchanging game developers."

Several years ago she suffered a serious concussion, and she created a multiplayer game to get through it, opening it up to anyone to play. In “Superbetter,” players set a goal (health or wellness) and invite others to play with them--and to keep them on track. While most games, and most videogames, have traditionally been about winning, we are now seeing increasing collaboration and games played together to solve problems.

00:51
In orderbestille to teachunderviser you this gamespil,
14
39236
1563
For at lære jer spillet,
00:52
I'm going to need some volunteersfrivillige
15
40799
1373
har jeg brug for nogle frivillige
00:54
to come up onstagepå scenen really quicklyhurtigt,
16
42172
1903
til at komme op på scenen ganske kort,
00:56
and we're going to do a little hands-onhands-on demodemo.
17
44075
1478
og så laver vi en praktisk demonstration.
00:57
While they're comingkommer up, I should let you know,
18
45553
2041
Mens de er på vej herop, bør jeg fortælle jer,
00:59
this gamespil was inventedopfundet 10 yearsflere år agosiden
19
47594
2462
at spillet blev opfundet for 10 år siden
01:02
by an artists'kunstnernes collectivekollektive in AustriaØstrig namedsom hedder MonochromMonochrom.
20
50056
3297
af et kunst kollektiv i Østrig ved navn Monochrom.
01:05
So thank you, MonochromMonochrom.
21
53353
1745
Så mange tak, Monochrom.
01:07
Okay, so mostmest people are familiarvelkendt
22
55098
2043
Okay, de fleste folk er bekendte
01:09
with traditionaltraditionel, two-personto-personers thumb-wrestlingtommelfinger-brydning.
23
57141
1992
med traditionel, to personers tommelfinger-krig.
01:11
SunniSunni, let's just remindminde om them.
24
59133
1588
Sunni, lad os lige genopfriske deres hukommelse.
01:12
One, two, threetre, fourfire,
I declareerklære a thumbtommelfinger warkrig, and we wrestlekæmper,
25
60721
2786
En, to, tre, fire,
Jeg erklærer tommelfinger krig, og så brydes vi,
01:15
and of courseRute SunniSunni beatsbeats me
because she's the bestbedst.
26
63507
2100
og selvfølgelig slår Sunni mig
for hun er den bedste.
01:17
Now the first thing about
massivelymassivt multiplayermultiplayer thumb-wrestlingtommelfinger-brydning,
27
65607
3804
Det første man skal have med
omkring massivt multiplayer tommelfinger-krig,
01:21
we're the gamergamer generationgeneration.
28
69411
1411
vi er en gamer generation.
01:22
There are a billionmilliard gamersgamere on the planetplanet now,
29
70822
2351
Der er en milliard gamere på planeten nu,
01:25
so we need more of a challengeudfordring.
30
73173
1554
så vi skal bruge en større udfordring.
01:26
So the first thing we need is more thumbstommelfingre.
31
74727
3379
Så det første vi skal bruge er flere tommelfingre.
01:30
So EricEric, come on over.
32
78106
1694
Så Eric, kom bare herover.
01:31
So we could get threetre thumbstommelfingre togethersammen,
33
79800
2811
Vi kunne sætte tre tommelfingre sammen,
01:34
and PeterPeter could jointilslutte us.
34
82611
2458
og Peter kunne være med.
01:37
We could even have fourfire thumbstommelfingre togethersammen,
35
85069
1720
Vi kunne endda have fire tommelfingre sammen,
01:38
and the way you winvinde
36
86789
1527
og måden du vinder på
01:40
is you're the first personperson
to pinpin someonenogen else'sellers er thumbtommelfinger.
37
88316
3197
er at være den første til
at fastholde en andens tommelfinger.
01:43
This is really importantvigtig. You can't, like,
38
91513
1858
Det er meget vigtigt. Du kan ikke, ligesom,
01:45
wait while they fightkæmpe it out and
then swooprazzia in at the last minuteminut.
39
93371
2537
vente mens det kæmper færdigt og
så vælte ind i sidste øjeblik.
01:47
That is not how you winvinde.
40
95908
1495
Det er ikke sådan man vinder.
01:49
AhAh, who did that? EricEric you did that.
41
97403
1335
Åh, hvem gjorde det? Eric du gjorde det.
01:50
So EricEric would have wonvandt. He was
the first personperson to pinpin my thumbtommelfinger.
42
98738
2802
Så Eric ville have vundet. Han var
den første person til at fastholde min tommelfinger.
01:53
Okay, so that's the first ruleHerske,
43
101540
1410
Okay, det var den første regel,
01:54
and we can see that threetre or fourfire
44
102950
1859
og vi kan se at tre eller fire
01:56
is kindvenlig of the typicaltypisk numbernummer of thumbstommelfingre in a nodenode,
45
104809
3179
er det typiske antal i en klynge,
01:59
but if you feel ambitiousambitiøse,
you don't have to holdholde back.
46
107988
2642
men hvis man føler sig ambitiøs,
skal man ikke holde sig tilbage.
02:02
We can really go for it.
47
110630
1365
Vi kan virkelig gå til stålet.
02:03
So you can see up here.
48
111995
2166
Så, I kan se deroppe.
02:06
Now the only other ruleHerske you need to rememberHusk is,
49
114161
2972
Den eneste anden regel I skal huske er,
02:09
gamergamer generationgeneration, we like a challengeudfordring.
50
117133
2267
gamer generationen, vi kan lide en udfordring.
02:11
I happenske to noticevarsel you all have
51
119400
1647
Jeg bider mærke i, at I alle har
02:13
some thumbstommelfingre you're not usingved brug af.
52
121047
1836
nogle tommelfingre I ikke bruger.
02:14
So I think we should kindvenlig of get some more involvedinvolveret.
53
122883
3007
Så jeg synes vi burde få nogle flere involveret.
02:17
And if we had just fourfire people,
54
125890
1770
Og hvis vi kun havde fire folk,
02:19
we would do it just like this,
55
127660
1838
ville vi bare gøre det sådan her,
02:21
and we would try and wrestlekæmper
56
129498
1686
og så forsøge at kæmpe
02:23
bothbegge thumbstommelfingre at the samesamme time.
57
131184
1781
med begge tommelfingre på samme tid.
02:24
PerfectPerfekt.
58
132965
1307
Perfekt.
02:26
Now, if we had more people in the roomværelse,
59
134272
2114
Hvis vi havde flere mennesker i lokalet,
02:28
insteadi stedet of just wrestlingbrydning in a closedlukket nodenode,
60
136386
1879
kunne vi, i stedet for at kæmpe i en lukket klynge,
02:30
we mightmagt reach out and try
and grabtag fat some other people.
61
138265
2783
måske række ud og forsøge
at tage ved nogle andre folk.
02:33
And in factfaktum, that's what we're going to do right now.
62
141048
1721
Og det er lige det, vi skal til at gøre nu.
02:34
We're going to try and get all, something like,
63
142769
2552
Vi vil forsøge at få alle, noget i stil med,
02:37
I don't know, 1,500 thumbstommelfingre in this roomværelse
64
145321
2976
Jeg ved ikke, 1.500 tommelfingre i lokalet
02:40
connectedforbundet in a singleenkelt nodenode.
65
148297
1313
samlet i en enkelt klynge.
02:41
And we have to connectforbinde bothbegge levelsniveauer,
66
149610
3040
Og vi skal forbinde begge niveauer,
02:44
so if you're up there, you're going to be
67
152650
2446
så hvis du er deroppe, kommer du til at
02:47
reaching down and reaching up.
68
155096
2213
række ned og række op.
02:49
Now — (LaughterLatter) —
69
157309
1674
Nu - (Latter) -
02:50
before we get startedstartede --
70
158983
1892
inden vi begynder --
02:52
This is great. You're excitedbegejstret to playSpille. —
71
160875
3033
Det er fantastisk. I er opsatte på at spille. -
02:55
before we get startedstartede, can I have
the slidesdias back up here really quickhurtig,
72
163908
3080
før vi går i gang, må jeg lige få
slides på skærmen igen hurtigt,
02:58
because if you get good at this gamespil,
73
166988
1957
for hvis I bliver god til dette spil,
03:00
I want you to know there are some advancedfremskreden levelsniveauer.
74
168945
2636
skal I vide at der findes nogle avancerede niveauer.
03:03
So this is the kindvenlig of simpleenkel levelniveau, right?
75
171581
2912
Dette er et temmelig simpel niveau, ikke?
03:06
But there are advancedfremskreden configurationskonfigurationer.
76
174493
1912
Men der findes avancerede konfigurationer.
03:08
This is calledhedder the DeathDød StarStar ConfigurationKonfiguration.
77
176405
2010
Denne kaldes Dødsstjerne Konfigurationen.
03:10
Any StarStar WarsKrige fansfans?
78
178415
1707
Nogle Star Wars fans?
03:12
And this one'sman er calledhedder the Möbiusbius StripStrip.
79
180122
2348
Og denne kaldes Möbiusbåndet.
03:14
Any sciencevidenskab geeksnørder, you get that one.
80
182470
1820
Jer videnskabs nørder, den fanger I.
03:16
This is the hardesthårdeste levelniveau. This is the extremeekstrem.
81
184290
2904
Dette er det sværeste niveau. Det er ekstremt.
03:19
So we'llgodt stickPind with the normalnormal one for now,
82
187194
2014
Så vi holder os til det normale denne gang.
03:21
and I'm going to give you 30 secondssekunder,
83
189208

03:25
connectforbinde the upperøverst and the lowernederste levelsniveauer,
85
193175
1473
forbind de øvre og nedre niveauer,

109
260408
1802
fra jeres første sejr i
04:34
massivelymassivt multiplayermultiplayer thumb-wrestlingtommelfinger-brydning gamespil,
110
262210
1615
et spil massivt multiplayer tommelfinger-krig,
04:35
let's do a quickhurtig recapSæt hætten on the positivepositiv emotionsfølelser.
111
263825
2590
så lad og hurtigt opremse de positive følelser.
04:38
So curiositynysgerrighed.
112
266415
1939
Altså nysgerrighed.
04:40
I said "massivelymassivt multiplayermultiplayer thumb-wrestlingtommelfinger-brydning."
113
268354
1972
Jeg sagde "massivt multiplayer tommelfinger-krig."
04:42
You were like, "What the hellhelvede is she talkingtaler about?"
114
270326
1800
I blev sådan, "Hvad helvede snakker hun om?"
04:44
So I provokedprovokeret a little curiositynysgerrighed.
115
272126
1877
Så jeg fremprovokerede lidt nysgerrighed.
04:46
CreativityKreativitet: it tooktog creativitykreativitet to solveløse the problemproblem
116
274003
2669
Kreativitet: det tog kreativitet at løse problemet
04:48
of getting all the thumbstommelfingre into the nodenode.
117
276672
1359
med at få alle tommelfingrene ind i klyngen.
04:50
I'm reaching around and I'm reaching up.
118
278031
1413
Jeg rækker omkring og jeg rækker op.
04:51
So you used creativitykreativitet. That was great.
119
279444
1554
Så I brugte kreativitet. Det er godt.
04:52
How about surpriseoverraskelse? The actualfaktiske feelingfølelse
120
280998
2252
Hvad med overraskelse? Den faktiske følelse
04:55
of tryingforsøger to wrestlekæmper two thumbstommelfingre at onceenkelt gang
is prettysmuk surprisingoverraskende.
121
283250
2662
af at prøve at kæmpe med to tommelfingre på en gang
er temmelig overraskende.
04:57
You heardhørt that soundlyd go up in the roomværelse.
122
285912
1860
I hørte den lyd der gik rundt i lokalet.
04:59
We had excitementspænding. As you startedstartede to wrestlekæmper,
123
287772
1839
Vi havde ophidselse. Da I begyndte at kæmpe,
05:01
maybe you're startingstart to winvinde
or this person'spersons, like, really into it,
124
289611
2205
måske begynder du at vinde
eller den her person er helt vildt inde i det,
05:03
so you kindvenlig of get the excitementspænding going.
125
291816
2486
så ophidselsen kører ligesom rundt.
05:06
We have relieflettelse. You got to standstå up.
126
294302
1943
Vi har lettelse. I fik lov til at rejse jer.
05:08
You've been sittingsidder for awhileen stund, so the physicalfysisk relieflettelse,
127
296245
1758
I har siddet i et stykke tid, så den fysiske lettelse,
05:10
getting to shakeryste it out.
128
298003
1317
at få lov til at ryste sig lidt.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jane McGonigal - Game Designer
Reality is broken, says Jane McGonigal, and we need to make it work more like a game. Her work shows us how.

Why you should listen

Jane McGonigal asks: Why doesn't the real world work more like an online game? In the best-designed games, our human experience is optimized: We have important work to do, we're surrounded by potential collaborators, and we learn quickly and in a low-risk environment. In her work as a game designer, she creates games that use mobile and digital technologies to turn everyday spaces into playing fields, and everyday people into teammates. Her game-world insights can explain--and improve--the way we learn, work, solve problems, and lead our real lives. She served as the director of game R&D at the Institute for the Future, and she is the founder of Gameful, which she describes as "a secret headquarters for worldchanging game developers."

Several years ago she suffered a serious concussion, and she created a multiplayer game to get through it, opening it up to anyone to play. In “Superbetter,” players set a goal (health or wellness) and invite others to play with them--and to keep them on track. While most games, and most videogames, have traditionally been about winning, we are now seeing increasing collaboration and games played together to solve problems.
