目前為止，我們已經讓Facebook和Twitter成為我們在網路世界裡的社交工具 -- 這些工具建立出一種凌駕於真實世界的"網路社交圈"。在TEDxBoston這場演講中，Seth Priebatsch認為下一種社交圈是：遊戲社交圈。隨著群體趨向的遊戲驅動力的普及化，將會重塑我們的教育和商業模式。

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

3000
我叫Seth Priebatsch。我是SCVNGR的首席忍者。(註：SCVNGR為美國的網路遊戲公司，公司將CEO稱chief ninja)
00:18
I am a proud Princeton dropout.
1
3000
2000
我是個驕傲的普林斯頓輟學生。
00:20
Also proud to have relocated here to Boston,
2
5000
2000
同時也非常驕傲能夠再回到波士頓，
00:22
where I actually grew up.
3
7000
2000
這個我出生的地方。
00:24
Yeah, Boston.
4
9000
2000
我愛波士頓。
00:26
Easy wins. I should just go and name the counties that we've got around here.
5
11000
3000
我到處走訪各地，為了宣達這種概念。
00:29
So, I'm also fairly determined to try and build
6
14000
2000
我決定要去嘗試
00:31
a game layer on top of the world.
7
16000
2000
建立一個超棒的遊戲社交圈。
00:33
And this is sort of a new concept, and it's really important.
8
18000
2000
這是一種新的概念，但它很重要。
00:35
Because while the last decade
9
20000
2000
因為，過去十年，
00:37
was the decade of social
10
22000
2000
是網路社交的黃金十年，
00:39
and the decade of where the framework
11
24000
2000
在過去的這十年間
00:41
in which we connect with other people was built,
12
26000
2000
我們建構了連接人與人的網路平台，
00:43
this next decade will be the decade where
13
28000
2000
而下一個十年，
00:45
the game framework is built,
14
30000
2000
將會是遊戲型平台的建構期，
00:47
where the motivations that we use to actually influence behavior,
15
32000
3000
玩遊戲的動機會影響我們的行為，
00:50
and the framework in which that is constructed,
16
35000
2000
這些正在建構的平台，
00:52
is decided upon, and that's really important.
17
37000
2000
是很重要的。
00:54
And so I say that I want to build a game layer on top of the world,
18
39000
3000
所以剛剛說，我要建立一個最棒的遊戲社交圈，
00:57
but that's not quite true
19
42000
2000
這可能有點不對，
00:59
because it's already under construction; it's already happening.
20
44000
2000
因為它已經是進行式了，它正在發生。
01:01
And it looks like this right now.
21
46000
2000
它現在看起來是這模樣。
01:03
It looks like the Web did back in 1997, right?
22
48000
3000
這看起來像1997年時的網頁畫面，對吧?
01:06
It's not very good. It's cluttered.
23
51000
2000
因為它現在又糟又亂。
01:08
It's filled with lots of different things
24
53000
2000
有一大堆不同類型的遊戲充斥在網路上，
01:10
that, in short, aren't that fun.
25
55000
2000
總之，看起來一點都不好玩。
01:12
There are credit card schemes and airline mile programs
26
57000
3000
像是信用卡公司的刷卡專案、航空公司的里程計畫、優惠券等等
01:15
and coupon cards and all these loyalty schemes
27
60000
3000
它們利用民眾玩遊戲的驅動力來建立遊戲社交圈，
01:18
that actually do use game dynamics
28
63000
2000
以便提升顧客忠誠，
01:20
and actually are building the game layer: they just suck.
29
65000
3000
真的是爛透了。
01:23
They're not very well designed, right?
30
68000
3000
這種消費遊戲設計的很爛，對吧?
01:26
So, that's unfortunate.
31
71000
2000
這真是不幸。
01:28
But luckily, as my favorite action hero,
32
73000
2000
不過運氣很好的是，我最愛的動作巨星，
01:30
Bob the Builder, says,
33
75000
2000
建築師巴布說，(註：Bob the Builder，在歐美相當受歡迎的卡通影片)
01:32
"We can do better. We can build this better."
34
77000
2000
"我們可以做的更好，我們可以蓋出更棒的建物"
01:34
And the tools, the resources
35
79000
2000
而其實
01:36
that we use to build a game layer
36
81000
2000
我們用來建構遊戲社交圈的工具和資源，
01:38
are game dynamics themselves.
37
83000
2000
就是遊戲驅動力。
01:40
And so, sort of, the crux of this presentation is going to go through
38
85000
2000
今天演講的關鍵點，
01:42
four really important game dynamics, really interesting things,
39
87000
3000
就是要介紹4個重要的遊戲驅動力，非常有趣，
01:45
that, if you use consciously,
40
90000
2000
如果你利用這些驅動力，
01:47
you can use to influence behavior,
41
92000
3000
你就能影響他人行為，
01:50
both for good, for bad, for in-between.
42
95000
2000
可以引導他人做出好的行為，或是壞的行為，或是同時發生。
01:52
Hopefully for good.
43
97000
2000
希望都是好的行為。
01:54
But this is sort of the important stages
44
99000
2000
這個遊戲平台的建立
01:56
in which that framework will get built,
45
101000
2000
將是最重要的一個階段，
01:58
and so we want to all be thinking about it consciously now.
46
103000
3000
我們應該認真清楚的思考這件事情。
02:01
Just before we jump into that, there's sort of a question of: why is this important?
47
106000
3000
在我們開始說明之前，讓我們先自問：為什麼它很重要?
02:04
I'm sort of making this claim that there is a game layer on top of the world,
48
109000
3000
為什麼我剛說建立最棒的遊戲社交圈
02:07
and that it's very important that we build it properly.
49
112000
3000
會是我們優先建立的重要工作。
02:10
The reason that it's so important is that, the last decade,
50
115000
2000
原因就是，在最近十年間，
02:12
what we've seen has been building the social layer,
51
117000
3000
我們已經建立了一種網路社交圈，
02:15
has been this framework for connections,
52
120000
3000
一種連接人與人的網路平台，
02:18
and construction on that layer is over, it's finished.
53
123000
3000
這種社交圈的建設已經到達終點，已經結束了。
02:21
There's still a lot to explore.
54
126000
2000
許多人仍在這領域摸索新的新的可能性。
02:23
There's still a lot of people who are trying to figure out social
55
128000
2000
還有許多人試著創造這種社會性網路平台，
02:25
and how do we leverage this and how do we use this,
56
130000
2000
還在試著去了解該如何利用這平台，
02:27
but the framework itself is done,
57
132000
2000
但其實這種平台目前已經走到了盡頭，
02:29
and it's called Facebook.
58
134000
3000
這盡頭叫做Facebook。
02:32
And that's okay, right? A lot of people are very happy with Facebook.
59
137000
3000
走到盡頭也沒關係，對吧?反正有很多人樂於使用Facebook。
02:35
I like it quite a lot.
60
140000
2000
我其實也挺愛的。
02:37
They've created this thing called the Open Graph,
61
142000
2000
Facebook利用所謂的"開放圖表"(Open Graph)，
02:39
and they own all of our connections.
62
144000
2000
擁有所有使用者的關係資料。
02:41
They own half a billion people.
63
146000
2000
這網站擁有5億人的關係資料。
02:43
And so when you want to build on the social layer,
64
148000
2000
若你才剛想到要去建立網路社交圈，
02:45
the framework has been decided; it is the Open Graph API.
65
150000
3000
Facebook早就知道你跟什麼有關聯了，這就是"開放圖表應用程式"(Open Graph API)。
02:48
And if you're happy with that, fantastic.
66
153000
2000
若你因此而高興，那很棒。
02:50
If you're not, too bad. There's nothing you can do.
67
155000
3000
若你覺得這樣不太好，那太糟了，因為你無能為力。
02:53
But this next decade -- and that's a real thing.
68
158000
3000
但接下來的十年，某件事一定會發生。
02:56
I mean, we want to build frameworks
69
161000
2000
我是要講，我們要建立一種平台，
02:58
in a way that makes it acceptable
70
163000
3000
這種平台的資料是人人可以讀取的，
03:01
and makes it, you know, productive down the road.
71
166000
2000
而且，當然，內容更豐富。
03:03
So, the social layer is all about these connections.
72
168000
3000
所以，網路社交圈就包含了所有人的關係鏈。
03:06
The game layer is all about influence.
73
171000
2000
而遊戲社交圈將帶來重大的影響。
03:08
It's not about adding a social fabric to the Web
74
173000
2000
它可不僅僅只有網路社交的部份，
03:10
and connecting you to other people
75
175000
2000
它可以隨時隨地把你跟別人連接在一起，
03:12
everywhere you are and everywhere you go.
76
177000
2000
不論你在哪或是想去哪。
03:14
It's actually about using dynamics, using forces,
77
179000
3000
它使用了某些驅動力，會有某種力量
03:17
to influence the behavior
78
182000
2000
去影響你的行為，
03:19
of where you are, what you do there, how you do it.
79
184000
2000
不論你在哪，不論你在那做什麼，還有你打算怎麼做。
03:21
That's really, really powerful, and it's going to be more important than the social layer.
80
186000
3000
這會非常有力，而且重要性會遠超過網路社交圈。
03:24
It's going to affect our lives more deeply
81
189000
2000
它會影響我們的生活
03:26
and perhaps more invisibly.
82
191000
2000
更深入，更無形。
03:28
And so it's incredibly critical
83
193000
2000
這難以置信的關鍵點，
03:30
that at this moment, while it's just getting constructed,
84
195000
2000
就在這一切正在形成的此時此刻，
03:32
while the frameworks like Facebook, like the Open Graph,
85
197000
3000
社交平台如Facebook、或是開放圖表，
03:35
are being created for the game layer equivalent,
86
200000
2000
最多也只能跟遊戲社交圈並駕齊驅，
03:37
that we think about it very consciously,
87
202000
2000
我們認為這是非常合理的，
03:39
and that we do it in a way that is open,
88
204000
2000
我們也將它設計成開放、
03:41
that is available, and that can be leveraged for good.
89
206000
2000
人人都能使用，甚至給人帶來益處。
03:43
And so that's what I want to talk about for game dynamics,
90
208000
2000
我想先來聊聊遊戲驅動力，
03:45
because construction has just begun,
91
210000
2000
因為這才剛起步，
03:47
and the more consciously we can think about this,
92
212000
2000
更合理地來說，
03:49
the better we'll be able to use it
93
214000
2000
我們希望在各種領域裡，
03:51
for anything that we want.
94
216000
2000
可以把它發揮得更好。
03:53
So like I said, the way that you go through and build on the game layer
95
218000
3000
你在遊戲社交圈中所建立的、所經歷的的任何東西，
03:56
is not with glass and steel and cement.
96
221000
3000
都將受到保護不任意外洩。
03:59
And the resources that we use are not this
97
224000
2000
我們使用的資源
04:01
two-dimensional swath of land that we have.
98
226000
3000
可不僅是那在螢幕上的平面地圖。
04:04
The resources are mindshare and the tools, the raw materials are these game dynamics.
99
229000
3000
這資源是心靈市佔率，這是遊戲驅動力中的原料。
04:07
So with that, you know, a couple game dynamics to talk about.
100
232000
3000
所以，我今天要跟各位介紹4種遊戲驅動力。
04:10
Four. Back at SCVNGR, we like to joke
101
235000
2000
在SCVNGR，我們總是開玩笑說，
04:12
that with seven game dynamics, you can get anyone to do anything.
102
237000
3000
如果有了7種遊戲驅動力，你可以指使任何人做任何事情。
04:15
And so today, I'm going to show you four,
103
240000
2000
所以今天，我只會跟各位介紹4個，
04:17
because I hope to have a competitive advantage at the end of this, still.
104
242000
3000
因為我還希望演講後公司還能保有一點競爭優勢。
04:20
(Laughter)
105
245000
3000
(笑)
04:23
So the first one, it's a very simple game dynamic.
106
248000
2000
第一個，是非常簡單的遊戲驅動力。
04:25
It's called the appointment dynamic.
107
250000
2000
稱為約定動力(appointment dynamic)。
04:27
And this is a dynamic in which to succeed,
108
252000
2000
這個動力是來自於
04:29
players have to do something at a predefined time,
109
254000
2000
玩家得在某特定時間做出某件事，
04:31
generally at a predefined place.
110
256000
2000
一般來說也要在特定的地點作。
04:33
And these dynamics are a little scary sometimes,
111
258000
2000
這些動力有時候有點恐怖，
04:35
because you think, you know,
112
260000
2000
因為，各位想像一下，
04:37
other people can be using forces that will manipulate
113
262000
2000
會有其他人使用這種力量
04:39
how I interact: what I do, where I do it, when I do it.
114
264000
3000
去操縱我和他人的互動、行為、行為的地點、行為的時間點。
04:42
This sort of loss of free will that occurs in games
115
267000
2000
失去自由的情況會出現在遊戲中，
04:44
can be frightening,
116
269000
2000
這很可怕，
04:46
so with each dynamic, I'm going to give three examples:
117
271000
2000
對於這4種驅動力，我會從三方面來講，
04:48
one that shows how this is already being used in the real world,
118
273000
3000
第一，我會舉例這在真實世界裡如何運用，
04:51
so you can sort of rationalize it a little bit;
119
276000
2000
這樣各位比較容易體會，
04:53
one that shows it in what we consider a conventional game --
120
278000
3000
第二，我會講這些是出自傳統遊戲中的哪部分，
04:56
I think everything is a game, but this is sort of
121
281000
2000
我認為所有事物都是個遊戲，就像
04:58
more of a what you would think is a game played on a board or on a computer screen,
122
283000
3000
你在玩某種棋盤遊戲或是電腦遊戲，
05:01
and then one how this can be used for good,
123
286000
2000
第三，這會被如何應用在好的方面，
05:03
so we can see that these forces can really be very powerful.
124
288000
2000
我們會見識到這些力量是多麼有影響力。
05:05
So the first one -- the most famous appointment dynamic in the world --
125
290000
3000
首先，世界上最著名的約定動力，
05:08
is something called happy hour.
126
293000
3000
就是"快樂時光"(註：歐美酒吧的減價時段)。
05:11
So I just recently dropped out of Princeton
127
296000
3000
我才剛從普林斯頓大學輟學，
05:14
and actually ended up for the first time in a bar,
128
299000
2000
第一次在酒吧結束學生生涯，
05:16
and I saw these happy hour things all over the place, right.
129
301000
3000
然後我在發現許多酒吧都有這個優惠時段。
05:19
And this is simply an appointment dynamic.
130
304000
2000
這是一個簡易的約定動力。
05:21
Come here at a certain time, get your drinks half off.
131
306000
2000
特定時間到這裡集合，買到一杯半價飲料。
05:23
To win, all you have to do is show up at the right place at the right time.
132
308000
3000
為了勝利，因為你會在特定時間出現在特定地點。
05:27
This game dynamic is so powerful
133
312000
2000
這種遊戲驅動力影響力很大，
05:29
that it doesn't just influence our behavior, it's influenced our entire culture.
134
314000
3000
這不只是影響我們的行為，是影響了我們整個文化。
05:32
That's a really scary thought,
135
317000
2000
這是個很可怕的，
05:34
that one game dynamic can change things so powerfully.
136
319000
3000
僅僅一個遊戲驅動力能如此有效的改變事物。
05:37
It also exists in more conventional game forms.
137
322000
2000
這同樣也存在許多傳統遊戲裡。
05:39
I'm sure you've all heard of Farmville by now.
138
324000
2000
相信各位都聽過Farmville這款遊戲。(註：Facebook上的知名網頁遊戲)
05:41
If you haven't, I recommend playing it.
139
326000
2000
若你沒聽過，我建議你來試試看。
05:43
You won't do anything else with the rest of your day.
140
328000
2000
只要一碰，你就不會想在閒暇時間裡做其他事情了。
05:45
Farmville has more active users than Twitter.
141
330000
3000
Farmville的玩家可能比Twitter的使用者更多。
05:48
It's incredibly powerful, and it has this dynamic
142
333000
2000
這真是不可思議的強大，而這種驅動力
05:50
where you have to return at a certain time
143
335000
2000
會讓你在特定時間一再的打開電腦，
05:52
to water your crops -- fake crops -- or they wilt.
144
337000
3000
為你的穀物灌溉，虛擬穀物，否則它們會枯死。
05:55
And this is so powerful that, when they tweak their stats,
145
340000
3000
這強大的地方在於，遊戲公司只要稍微動一下遊戲數值，
05:58
when they say your crops wilt
146
343000
2000
讓你的穀物枯死時間
06:00
after eight hours, or after six hours, or after 24 hours,
147
345000
3000
是在8小時後，或是6小時後，或24小時後，
06:03
it changes the lifecycle
148
348000
2000
這一點動作
06:05
of 70 million-some people during the day.
149
350000
2000
就會改變7千萬人一天的生活作息。
06:07
They will return like clockwork at different times.
150
352000
3000
他們會像時鐘一樣準時回來種田。
06:10
So if they wanted the world to end, if they wanted productivity to stop,
151
355000
3000
除非想要農莊倒掉或是生產停止，
06:13
they could make this a 30-minute cycle,
152
358000
2000
不然玩家會每30分鐘回來看一下，
06:15
and no one could do anything else, right?
153
360000
2000
然後整天都不用做別的事了。
06:17
(Laughter)
154
362000
2000
(笑)
06:19
That's a little scary.
155
364000
2000
這實在很嚇人。
06:21
But this could also be used for good.
156
366000
2000
但這也能應用在好的事物上。
06:23
This is a local company called Vitality, and they've created a product
157
368000
2000
這是一家國內公司，叫Vitality，他們製造了一種產品
06:25
to help people take their medicine on time.
158
370000
2000
可以幫助人們在固定吃間吃藥。
06:27
That's an appointment.
159
372000
2000
這就是一種約定。
06:29
It's something that people don't do very well.
160
374000
2000
有些事情人總是做不好。
06:31
And they have these GlowCaps, which, you know, flash and email you
161
376000
3000
而這家公司就推出了GlowCaps，它會發光或是發送email
06:34
and do all sorts of cool things to remind you to take your medicine.
162
379000
2000
或是做一堆奇怪的事情來提醒你該吃藥。
06:36
This is one that isn't a game yet, but really should be.
163
381000
2000
這還不太像是一種遊戲，但實際上它是。
06:38
You should get points for doing this on time.
164
383000
2000
你準時做到就會得分。
06:40
You should lose points for not doing this on time.
165
385000
2000
妳沒準時做到就會扣分。
06:42
They should consciously recognize
166
387000
2000
使用者會清楚的意識到
06:44
that they've built an appointment dynamic and leverage the games.
167
389000
2000
他們已經建立了一種約定力，充份利用了遊戲功能。
06:46
And then you can really achieve good in some interesting ways.
168
391000
3000
也因此你能透過有趣的過程做到某些好事。
06:49
We're going to jump onto the next one, maybe. Yes.
169
394000
2000
讓我們進入下一個，沒錯，
06:51
Influence and status.
170
396000
2000
就是感染力(Influence)和地位(status)。
06:53
So this is one of the most famous game dynamics.
171
398000
2000
這是遊戲驅動力中最受歡迎的部分。
06:55
It's used all over the place.
172
400000
2000
這能應用在任何領域。
06:57
It's used in your wallets, right now.
173
402000
2000
這現在就應用在各位的皮夾裡，
06:59
We all want that credit card on the far left
174
404000
2000
我們都希望拿到畫面最右邊的那張信用卡，
07:01
because it's black.
175
406000
2000
運通頂級黑卡。
07:03
And you see someone at CVS or --
176
408000
2000
當你看到某人在便利商店...
07:05
not CVS -- at Christian Dior or something, and then ...
177
410000
3000
不是便利商店，是在迪奧(Christian Dior)或是其他精品專賣店時，這張卡才會出現..
07:08
I don't know. I don't have a black card; I've got a debit card.
178
413000
3000
我不熟啦，我又沒拿過黑卡，提款卡倒是有1張。
07:11
(Laughter)
179
416000
3000
(笑)
07:14
So they whip it out. And you see men, they have that black card.
180
419000
2000
他們手一伸，你看到他們手上拿著黑卡。
07:16
I want that because that means that they're cooler than I am,
181
421000
2000
我會想要黑卡，是因為這張卡意味著身分高人一等，
07:18
and I need that.
182
423000
2000
所以我想要。
07:20
And this is used in games as well.
183
425000
2000
這也是一種遊戲。
07:22
"Modern Warfare," one of the most successful selling games of all time.
184
427000
3000
這種"現代戰爭"，是商業遊戲最成功的一環。
07:25
I'm only a level four, but I desperately want to be a level 10,
185
430000
3000
我在這場遊戲中只有等級4，但我會拼老命衝到等級10來得到卡，
07:28
because they've got that cool red badge thing,
186
433000
2000
因為這張黑卡就像是英勇的紅色勳章，
07:30
and that means that I am somehow better than everyone else.
187
435000
3000
擁有它意味著我在某方面比他人強。
07:33
And that's very powerful to me. Status is really good motivator.
188
438000
3000
這對人是很有影響力的。所以說，地位是很棒的激勵因素。
07:36
It's also used in more conventional settings
189
441000
2000
它也被應用在很多傳統的事物上，
07:38
and can be used more consciously in conventional settings.
190
443000
3000
甚至非常刻意的用在某些常見的事物上。
07:41
School -- and remember, I made it through one year,
191
446000
3000
像是學校，喔！別忘了我在大學裡呆過1年，
07:44
so I think I'm qualified to talk on school --
192
449000
2000
我想我有資格用學校當例子，
07:46
is a game, it's just not a terribly well-designed game, right.
193
451000
3000
其實學校就是遊戲，它是個設計良好的遊戲，
07:49
There are levels. There are C. There are B. There is A.
194
454000
3000
學校裡有等級制度，等級C、B、A。
07:52
There are statuses. I mean, what is valedictorian, but a status?
195
457000
3000
學校裡有地位制度，就像畢業生致詞代表，這不是個地位嗎?
07:55
If we called valedictorian a "white knight paladin level 20,"
196
460000
4000
若把致詞代表換個名稱，叫"等級20的白色騎馬戰士"，
07:59
I think people would probably work a lot harder.
197
464000
3000
我猜學生一定會超用功唸書。
08:02
(Laughter)
198
467000
2000
(笑)
08:05
So school is a game, and there have been lots of experimentations
199
470000
3000
所以說學校就是遊戲，裡面有各種測驗，
08:08
on how we do this properly.
200
473000
2000
端看我們如何好好通過這些測驗。
08:10
But let's use it consciously. Like why have games that you can lose?
201
475000
3000
測驗是必要的，你不會想要在這遊戲中當輸家吧?
08:13
Why go from an A to an F or a B to a C?
202
478000
2000
誰要從A變成F，或是從B變成C阿?
08:15
That sucks. Why not level-up?
203
480000
2000
這樣就很遜，要提升等級才對阿。
08:17
And at Princeton, they've actually experimented with this,
204
482000
2000
在普林斯頓裡，也有許多測驗，
08:19
where they have quizzes where you gain experience points,
205
484000
2000
獲得經驗值的方式就是參加考試，
08:21
and you level up from B to an A.
206
486000
2000
做的好才能從等級B變成等級A。
08:23
And it's very powerful.
207
488000
2000
這很有影響力。
08:25
It can be used in interesting ways.
208
490000
3000
但它可以應用在更有趣的事情上。
08:28
The third one I want to talk about quickly is the progression dynamic,
209
493000
2000
第三個，我想講快一點，它是進步動力(progression dynamic)。
08:30
where you have to sort of make progress,
210
495000
2000
這種動力會讓你想更進步，
08:32
you have to move through different steps in a very granular fashion.
211
497000
3000
你會透過一些細小的任務來進步。
08:35
This is used all over the place, including LinkedIn,
212
500000
3000
這應用在許多地方，像是LinkedIn網站(註：LinkedIn是使用者靠自己的履歷做網路社交)
08:38
where I am an un-whole individual.
213
503000
2000
在這個網站上，我的資料不夠完整。
08:40
I am only 85 percent complete on LinkedIn,
214
505000
3000
我在LinkedIn上只完成了85%的進度，
08:43
and that bothers me.
215
508000
2000
我會很在意這件事。
08:45
And this is so deep-seated in our psyche
216
510000
3000
這個網站會深植在我們的心理，是因為
08:48
that when we're presented with a progress bar
217
513000
2000
網頁上會有個"目前進度"的長條，
08:50
and presented with easy, granular steps
218
515000
2000
它會細分成很多小小的步驟，
08:52
to take to try and complete that progress bar, we will do it.
219
517000
3000
讓你會願意嘗試完成這個"目前進度"。
08:55
We will find a way to move that blue line
220
520000
2000
我們會有方法移動藍色長條，
08:57
all the way to the right edge of the screen.
221
522000
3000
讓它一直往螢幕右邊移動。
09:00
This is used in conventional games as well.
222
525000
2000
這在傳統的電玩中也應用很多。
09:02
I mean, you see this is a paladin level 10,
223
527000
2000
看，左邊是個等級10的武士，
09:04
and that's a paladin level 20,
224
529000
2000
右邊是等級20的武士，
09:06
and if you were going to fight, you know, orcs on the fields of Mordor
225
531000
3000
若現在各位將前往魔多攻擊半獸人，
09:09
against the Raz al Ghul,
226
534000
2000
並對抗黑暗大頭目，
09:11
you'd probably want to be the bigger one, right.
227
536000
2000
各位應該都會想當右邊的大塊頭吧。
09:13
I would.
228
538000
2000
我就會選右邊的。
09:15
And so people work very hard to level-up.
229
540000
2000
所以人們會埋首於等級提升。
09:17
"World of Warcraft" is one of the most successful games of all time.
230
542000
3000
"魔獸世界(World of Warcraft)"是目前最成功的遊戲之一。
09:20
The average player spends something like
231
545000
2000
平均一個玩家
09:22
six, six-and-a-half hours a day on it.
232
547000
2000
一天會投入6.5小時。
09:24
Their most dedicated players, it's like a full-time job.
233
549000
3000
還有更專業的玩家，把這個當全職工作。
09:27
It's insane. And they have these systems where you can level-up.
234
552000
3000
根本是瘋了。這是一個能讓你提升等級的系統。
09:30
And that's a very powerful thing. Progression is powerful.
235
555000
3000
進步動力非常有影響力。
09:34
It can also be used in very compelling ways for good.
236
559000
3000
同樣它也能應用在很多好的事情上。
09:37
One of the things that we work on at SCVNGR
237
562000
2000
其中一個是SCVNGR，我們的目標
09:39
is how do you use games to drive traffic and drive business to local businesses,
238
564000
3000
就是想出如何利用遊戲的手法，去針對當地企業做商業操作，
09:42
to sort of something that is very key to the economy.
239
567000
2000
這對經濟是重要的關鍵。
09:44
And here we have a game that people play.
240
569000
3000
所以我們設計了一個遊戲給大眾。
09:47
They go places, they do challenges, they earn points.
241
572000
2000
他們到某個地點，接受某個挑戰，然後賺取經驗值。
09:49
And we've introduced a progression dynamic into it,
242
574000
2000
我們就是將進步動力引進了遊戲之中，
09:51
where, by going to the same place over and over,
243
576000
2000
你可以一直前往某個地方，
09:53
by doing challenges, by engaging with the business,
244
578000
2000
或是接受某種由企業贊助的挑戰活動，
09:55
you move a green bar from the left edge of the screen to the right edge of the screen,
245
580000
3000
你就能將綠色小方條從最左邊移動到最右邊，
09:58
and you eventually unlock rewards.
246
583000
2000
最後你能獲得獎賞。
10:00
And this is powerful enough that we can see
247
585000
2000
這種影響力是顯而易見的，
10:02
that it hooks people into these dynamics,
248
587000
2000
人們受到這種動力影響，
10:04
pulls them back to the same local businesses,
249
589000
2000
促使人們一直光顧同個當地商家，
10:06
creates huge loyalty, creates engagement,
250
591000
2000
建立極大的忠誠度、密切關係，
10:08
and is able to drive meaningful revenue
251
593000
2000
這給企業帶來收益
10:10
and fun and engagement to businesses.
252
595000
2000
娛樂、承諾。
10:12
These progression dynamics are powerful
253
597000
2000
這種進步動力很有影響力，
10:14
and can be used in the real world.
254
599000
2000
並能推廣應用到全世界。
10:16
The final one I want to talk about -- and it's a great one to end on --
255
601000
3000
最後一個我要講的，這當結尾很棒，
10:19
is this concept of communal discovery,
256
604000
2000
就是"社群探索"概念的產生，
10:21
a dynamic in which everyone has to work together
257
606000
3000
這種驅動力會引領每個人一起工作，
10:24
to achieve something.
258
609000
2000
以便達成某個目標。
10:26
And communal discovery is powerful because it leverages
259
611000
2000
社群探索的有力點，在於
10:28
the network that is society
260
613000
2000
它能利用網路社會的力量
10:30
to solve problems.
261
615000
3000
解決各種問題。
10:33
This is used in some sort of famous consumer web stories,
262
618000
3000
這些使用在一些受歡迎的消費性網路商店裡。
10:36
like Digg, which I'm sure you've all heard of.
263
621000
2000
像是Digg，我相信大家都聽過。(註：書籤社群網站)
10:38
Digg is a communal dynamic
264
623000
2000
Digg就是一種社群動力
10:40
to try to find and source the best news,
265
625000
2000
讓使用者去尋找最棒的新聞，
10:42
the most interesting stories.
266
627000
2000
或是最有趣的小故事。
10:44
And they made this into a game, initially.
267
629000
2000
最初，這對他們而言只是個遊戲。
10:46
They had a leader board, where, if you recommended the best stories,
268
631000
3000
若你所推薦的某個故事登上了網頁首頁，
10:49
you would get points.
269
634000
2000
就能得到分數。
10:51
And that really motivated people to find the best stories.
270
636000
2000
這會刺激使用者去找更多更棒的故事。
10:53
But it became so powerful that there was actually a cabal,
271
638000
3000
這很有影響力，很像某種幫派，
10:56
a group of people, the top seven on the leader board,
272
641000
3000
有一群人總是能佔據首頁前7名的位置，
10:59
who would work together to make sure they maintained that position.
273
644000
3000
因為他們會一起合作確保在首頁的位置。
11:02
And they would recommend other people's stories,
274
647000
2000
這群體的成員會互相推薦彼此的文章。
11:04
and the game became more powerful than the goal.
275
649000
2000
遊戲的過程會比達成目標還要有影響力。
11:06
And they actually had to end up shutting down the leader board
276
651000
2000
最後，霸佔首頁會變成主要的目標，
11:08
because while it was effective,
277
653000
2000
這種情形發生的時候，
11:10
it was so powerful that it stopped sourcing the best stories
278
655000
2000
社群動力就會讓使用者不再推薦好故事，
11:12
and started having people work to maintain their leadership.
279
657000
3000
只會讓使用者專注在如何維持在首頁。
11:15
So we have to use this one carefully.
280
660000
2000
所以這種影響力的使用要很小心。
11:17
It's also used in things like McDonald's Monopoly,
281
662000
2000
另一個例子，像"麥當勞大富翁遊戲"(註：McDonald's Monopoly，麥當勞從1987年開始在歐美的促銷活動，在店內玩類似大富翁的遊戲。)
11:19
where the game is not the Monopoly game you're playing,
282
664000
2000
這不太像我們平常在玩的大富翁，
11:21
but the sort of cottage industries that form
283
666000
2000
消費者會像民宿業者一樣
11:23
to try and find Boardwalk, right.
284
668000
2000
尋找它們的濱海長堤(註：Boardwalk，紐澤西州大西洋城名景)。
11:25
And now they're just looking for a little sticker that says "Boardwalk."
285
670000
3000
消費者都會希望抽中一張有寫"濱海長堤"的貼紙(註：抽中此貼紙通常是最大獎)。
11:28
But it can also be used to find real things.
286
673000
2000
這能應用在找些真實存在的東西。
11:30
This is the DARPA balloon challenge,
287
675000
2000
美國國防部高級研究規劃局(DARPA)推出了氣球挑戰賽，
11:32
where they hid a couple balloons all across the United States
288
677000
3000
他們隨機在美國內放了10個氣球，
11:35
and said, "Use networks.
289
680000
2000
他們宣布："請使用網路，
11:37
Try and find these balloons fastest, and the winner will get $40,000."
290

3000
最快找到這些氣球的人，可以贏得4萬美金。"
11:40
And the winner was actually a group out of MIT,
291
685000
2000
拿走獎金的是麻省理工的一個團隊，
11:42
where they created sort of a pyramid scheme, a network,
292
687000
2000
他們創立了一個類似老鼠會的網站，
11:44
where the first person to recommend the location of a balloon
293
689000
2000
第一個到網站報告氣球位置的人，
11:46
got $2,000 and anyone else to push that recommendation up
294
691000
3000
就能拿到2千美金，然後將消息傳給發現者的所有人，
11:49
also got a cut of it.
295
694000
2000
能均分1千美金。
11:51
And in 12 hours, they were able to find
296
696000
2000
12小時內，這個團隊
11:53
all these balloons, all across the country, right.
297
698000
2000
就蒐集到散布在全美國的10個氣球的位置。
11:55
Really powerful dynamic.
298
700000
2000
非常有效的驅動力。
11:57
And so, I've got about 20 seconds left,
299
702000
3000
喔，我還剩20秒，
12:00
so if I'm going to leave you with anything,
300
705000
2000
讓我做個總結，
12:02
last decade was the decade of social.
301
707000
2000
近十年來是網路社交的黃金十年，
12:04
This next decade is the decade of games.
302
709000
2000
下一個十年是遊戲社交的十年。
12:06
We use game dynamics to build on it. We build with mindshare.
303
711000
2000
我們正在使用這些遊戲驅動力來建立。我們要的是心靈市佔率。
12:08
We can influence behavior.
304
713000
2000
我們可以影響人類行為。
12:10
It is very powerful. It is very exciting.
305
715000
2000
這會很有影響力，也令人非常興奮。
12:12
Let's all build it together, let's do it well and have fun playing.
306
717000
3000
讓我們一起建構這個世界，讓我們能一起沉溺在遊戲的世界裡。
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.
