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.

謝謝你,Monochrom
01:07
Okay, so most people are familiar
22
55098
2043
好的,大部份的人都對
01:09
with traditional傳統, two-person兩人 thumb-wrestling拇指摔跤.
23
57141
1992
傳統的兩人拇指摔角很熟悉
01:11
Sunni遜尼派, let's just remind提醒 them.
24
59133
1588
Sunni,我們幫他們複習一下吧
01:12
One, two, three, four,
I declare宣布 a thumb拇指 war戰爭, and we wrestle搏鬥,
25
60721
2786
一,二,三,四
當我說拇指比賽,然後我們就開始
01:15
and of course課程 Sunni遜尼派 beats節拍 me
because she's the best最好.
26
63507
2100
當然Sunni會打敗我
因為她是最厲害的
01:17
Now the first thing about
massively大規模 multiplayer多人 thumb-wrestling拇指摔跤,
27
65607
3804
玩多人拇指摔角,(要知道)的第一件事情
01:21
we're the gamer玩家 generation.
28
69411
1411
就是我們身處玩家的世代
01:22
There are a billion十億 gamers遊戲玩家 on the planet行星 now,
29
70822
2351
現在全世界有十數億個玩家
01:25
so we need more of a challenge挑戰.
30
73173
1554
所以我們面臨大挑戰
01:26
So the first thing we need is more thumbs大拇指.
31
74727
3379
首先,我們需要更多的拇指
01:30
So Eric埃里克, come on over.
32
78106
1694
所以,來吧,Eric
01:31
So we could get three thumbs大拇指 together一起,
33
79800
2811
我們把三個拇指湊在一起
01:34
and Peter彼得 could join加入 us.
34
82611
2458
然後Peter可以加入我們
01:37
We could even have four thumbs大拇指 together一起,
35
85069
1720
我們甚至可以把四個拇指湊在一起
01:38
and the way you win贏得
36
86789
1527
如果你是第一個
01:40
is you're the first person
to pin someone有人 else's別人的 thumb拇指.
37
88316
3197
把別人的拇指按住的人,你就贏了
01:43
This is really important重要. You can't, like,
38
91513
1858
這很重要
01:45
wait while they fight鬥爭 it out and
then swoop落下 in at the last minute分鐘.
39
93371
2537
你不能在一旁觀戰,然後在最後才突然壓下來
01:47
That is not how you win贏得.
40
95908
1495
這樣子贏了不算
01:49
Ah, who did that? Eric埃里克 you did that.
41
97403
1335
噢,是誰?是Eric
01:50
So Eric埃里克 would have won韓元. He was
the first person to pin my thumb拇指.
42
98738
2802
這樣Eric就贏了
他是第一個把我的拇指壓住的
01:53
Okay, so that's the first rule規則,
43
101540
1410
好,這就是第一條規則
01:54
and we can see that three or four
44
102950
1859
三個或四個拇指
01:56
is kind of the typical典型 number of thumbs大拇指 in a node節點,
45
104809
3179
是在一個節點中常見的拇指數量
01:59
but if you feel ambitious有雄心,
you don't have to hold保持 back.
46
107988
2642
但是如果你很有野心的話
別憋在心裡
02:02
We can really go for it.
47
110630
1365
我們真的可以爭取更多
02:03
So you can see up here.
48
111995
2166
你可以看到
02:06
Now the only other rule規則 you need to remember記得 is,
49
114161
2972
你要記住的另外一條規則就是
02:09
gamer玩家 generation, we like a challenge挑戰.
50
117133
2267
身為玩家世代的一員,我們喜歡挑戰
02:11
I happen發生 to notice注意 you all have
51
119400
1647
讓我提醒你們,你們都有一些
02:13
some thumbs大拇指 you're not using運用.
52
121047
1836
你現在沒在用的拇指
02:14
So I think we should kind of get some more involved參與.
53
122883
3007
所以我覺得我們應該試點其他的
02:17
And if we had just four people,
54
125890
1770
如果我們只有四個人
02:19
we would do it just like this,
55
127660
1838
我們可以這樣做
02:21
and we would try and wrestle搏鬥
56
129498
1686
同時用兩隻拇指摔角
02:23
both thumbs大拇指 at the same相同 time.
57
131184
1781
同時用兩個拇指摔角
02:24
Perfect完善.
58
132965
1307
太好了
02:26
Now, if we had more people in the room房間,
59
134272
2114
好,如果這房間裡有更多人
02:28
instead代替 of just wrestling摔角 in a closed關閉 node節點,
60
136386
1879
我們可以往外延伸
讓更多人參與我們
02:30
we might威力 reach達到 out and try
and grab some other people.
61
138265
2783
而不是只在一個封閉的節點裡玩摔角
02:33
And in fact事實, that's what we're going to do right now.
62
141048
1721
事實上
這就是我們現在要做的
02:34
We're going to try and get all, something like,
63
142769
2552
我們要試著把這房間裡所有的
02:37
I don't know, 1,500 thumbs大拇指 in this room房間
64
145321
2976
我不確定,大概1500個拇指
02:40
connected連接的 in a single node節點.
65
148297
1313
在一個節點裡面連接起來
02:41
And we have to connect both levels水平,
66
149610
3040
我們得連結兩層樓
02:44
so if you're up there, you're going to be
67
152650
2446
所以如果你在樓上的話
02:47
reaching到達 down and reaching到達 up.
68
155096
2213
你就要同時連接樓上和樓下
02:49
Now — (Laughter笑聲) —
69
157309
1674
現在--(笑聲)--
02:50
before we get started開始 --
70
158983
1892
在我們開始之前
02:52
This is great. You're excited興奮 to play. —
71
160875
3033
很好。你們已經等不及了--
02:55
before we get started開始, can I have
the slides幻燈片 back up here really quick,
72
163908
3080
在我們開始之前
我在上面再放幾張投影片
02:58
because if you get good at this game遊戲,
73
166988
1957
因為如果你對這個遊戲很在行的話
03:00
I want you to know there are some advanced高級 levels水平.
74
168945
2636
我想讓你知道還有其它進階版
03:03
So this is the kind of simple簡單 level水平, right?
75
171581
2912
這看其來是基本款對吧?
03:06
But there are advanced高級 configurations配置.
76
174493
1912
但是還有其它種高級組合
03:08
This is called the Death死亡 Star Configuration組態.
77
176405
2010
這叫做「死星組合」
03:10
Any Star Wars戰爭 fans球迷?
78
178415
1707
這裡有星際大戰迷嗎?
03:12
And this one's那些 called the Möbiusbius Strip跳閘.
79
180122

03:14
Any science科學 geeks怪才, you get that one.
80
182470
1820
你是科學狂的話就會知道
03:16
This is the hardest最難 level水平. This is the extreme極端.
81
184290
2904
這是最高級的
非常困難
03:19
So we'll stick with the normal正常 one for now,
82
187194
2014
所以我們先玩個正常的

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.
