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.

00:57
While they're coming up, I should let you know,
18
45553
2041
當佢哋上嚟嘅同時,我想話畀你哋知
00:59
this game遊戲 was invented發明 10 years ago
19
47594
2462
呢個遊戲係十年前
01:02
by an artists'藝術家 ' collective集體 in Austria奧地利 named MonochromMonochrom.
20
50056
3297
由奧地利一個叫 Monochrom
嘅藝術家團體發明
01:05
So thank you, MonochromMonochrom.
21
53353
1745
所以多謝你 Monochrom
01:07
Okay, so most people are familiar熟悉
22
55098
2043
好啦,咁好多人其實都熟悉
01:09
with traditional傳統, two-person兩人 thumb-wrestling拇指摔跤.
23
57141
1992
傳統嘅二人手指公摔角
01:11
Sunni遜尼派, let's just remind them.
24
59133
1588
Sunni,等我哋幫大家溫習一下
01:12
One, two, three, four,
I declare宣布 a thumb拇指 war戰爭, and we wrestle摔跤,
25
60721
2786
一,二,三,四
我發起拇指戰爭,跟住我哋開始摔角
01:15
and of course課程 Sunni遜尼派 beats me
because she's the best最好.
26
63507
2100
咁當然 Sunni 擊敗我啦,因為佢最勁
01:17
Now the first thing about
massively大量 multiplayer多層 thumb-wrestling拇指摔跤,
27
65607
3804
玩大型多人拇指摔角
要注意嘅第一件事係
01:21
we're the gamer玩家 generation生成.
28
69411
1411
我哋係遊戲世代
01:22
There are a billion gamers玩家 on the planet星球 now,
29
70822
2351
現時全球有十億個玩家
01:25
so we need more of a challenge挑戰.
30
73173
1554
所以我哋唔止需要挑戰
01:26
So the first thing we need is more thumbs拇指.
31
74727
3379
咁我哋需要嘅第一樣野嘢
就係更多手指公
01:30
So Eric埃里克, come on over.
32
78106
1694
所以,Eric,過來
01:31
So we could get three thumbs拇指 together一起,
33
79800
2811
我哋可以將三隻手指公擺埋一齊
01:34
and Peter彼得 could join加入 us.
34
82611
2458
Peter 都可以加入來
01:37
We could even have four thumbs拇指 together一起,
35
85069
1720
我哋甚至可以四個手指公一齊
01:38
and the way you win贏得
36
86789
1527
而贏嘅方法
01:40
is you're the first person
to pin someone有人 else's其他嘅 thumb拇指.
37
88316
3197
就係你係第一個壓住是旦一個嘅手指
01:43
This is really important重要. You can't, like,
38
91513
1858
呢個非常重要
你唔可以等到其他人都打晒,先至襲擊
01:45
wait while they fight戰鬥 it out and
then swoop一舉 in at the last minute分鐘.
39
93371
2537
01:47
That is not how you win贏得.
40
95908
1495
你唔可以咁贏
01:49
Ah, who did that? Eric埃里克 you did that.
41
97403
1335
啊,邊個壓住手指?Eric 係你
01:50
So Eric埃里克 would have won贏得. He was
the first person to pin my thumb拇指.
42
98738
2802
所以 Eric 頭先就贏咗
佢係第一個壓住我手指公嘅人
01:53
Okay, so that's the first rule規則,
43
101540
1410
好啦,呢個係第一條規則
01:54
and we can see that three or four
44
102950
1859
咁我哋可以睇到 3 或者 4
01:56
is kind一種 of the typical典型 number數量 of thumbs拇指 in a node節點,
45
104809
3179
係通常一局嘅人數
01:59
but if you feel ambitious雄心勃勃,
you don't have to hold舉行 back.
46
107988
2642
但如果你雄心壯志
你唔使壓抑住自己
02:02
We can really go for it.
47
110630
1365
我哋真係可以嘗試下
02:03
So you can see up here.
48
111995
2166
你睇呢度
02:06
Now the only other rule規則 you need to remember記得 is,
49
114161
2972
唯一另一條你需要記得嘅規則係
02:09
gamer玩家 generation生成, we like a challenge挑戰.
50
117133
2267
遊戲世代啊嘛,我哋鍾意挑戰
02:11
I happen發生 to notice通知 you all have
51
119400
1647
咁啱我注意到大家未有用到兩隻手指公
02:13
some thumbs拇指 you're not using使用.
52
121047
1836
02:14
So I think we should kind一種 of get some more involved涉及.
53
122883
3007
我覺得我哋可以加埋佢哋入嚟
02:17
And if we had just four people,
54
125890
1770
所以如果我哋得四個人
02:19
we would do it just like this,
55
127660
1838
我哋可以咁樣玩
02:21
and we would try and wrestle摔跤
56
129498
1686
而我哋就可以試下
02:23
both thumbs拇指 at the same相同 time.
57
131184
1781
同時用兩隻手指公摔角
02:24
Perfect完美.
58
132965
1307
非常好
02:26
Now, if we had more people in the room間房,
59
134272
2114
呢家呢,如果我哋係房裡面有更加多人
02:28
instead相反 of just wrestling摔跤 in a closed關閉 node節點,
60
136386
1879
與其形成一個剩係得四個人玩
02:30
we might可能 reach達到 out and try
and grab抓住 some other people.
61
138265
2783
我哋可以捉埋其他人隻手
02:33
And in fact事實, that's what we're going to do right now.
62
141048
1721
呢個就係我哋宜家要做嘅嘢
02:34
We're going to try and get all, something like,
63
142769
2552
我哋要試下將所有房裏面嘅指隻公
02:37
I don't know, 1,500 thumbs拇指 in this room間房
64
145321
2976
我唔知有幾多,大概有 1,500 隻
02:40
connected連接 in a single node節點.
65
148297
1313
全部連埋一齊
02:41
And we have to connect連接 both levels水平,
66
149610
3040
而且我哋要連接兩層
02:44
so if you're up there, you're going to be
67
152650
2446
如果你喺側邊,你要
02:47
reaching達到 down and reaching達到 up.
68
155096
2213
向下伸手或者向上伸手
02:49
Now — (Laughter笑聲) —
69
157309
1674
好啦(笑聲)
02:50
before we get started初時 --
70
158983
1892
係我哋開始之前…
02:52
This is great. You're excited興奮 to play. —
71
160875
3033
宜家氣氛唔錯,你哋都好興奮
02:55
before we get started初時, can I have
the slides幻燈片 back up here really quick快速,
72
163908
3080
我哋開始之前,我要頭先張投影片
02:58
because if you get good at this game遊戲,
73
166988
1957
因為當你玩呢個遊戲、玩得唔錯嘅時候
03:00
I want you to know there are some advanced先進 levels水平.
74
168945
2636
我想話畀你哋知,仲有一個高級玩法
03:03
So this is the kind一種 of simple簡單 level水平, right?
75
171581
2912
呢個其實係入門等級
03:06
But there are advanced先進 configurations配置.
76
174493
1912
但其實仲有高級玩法
03:08
This is called the Death死亡 Star明星 Configuration配置.
77
176405
2010
呢個係死星結構玩法
03:10
Any Star明星 Wars戰爭 fans球迷?
78
178415
1707
有冇星球大戰嘅影迷?
03:12
And this one's人嘅 called the Möbiusbius Strip.
79
180122
2348
呢個叫「梅比斯環」
03:14
Any science科學 geeks極客, you get that one.
80
182470
1820
有冇研究科學嘅人?你哋一定明
03:16
This is the hardest level水平. This is the extreme極端.
81
184290
2904
呢個喺最難嘅一關,叫「極端」
03:19
So we'll我哋就 stick堅持 with the normal正常 one for now,
82
187194
2014
不過我哋做簡單嘅先
03:21
and I'm going to give you 30 seconds,

第一次大型多人手指公摔角
04:34
massively大量 multiplayer多層 thumb-wrestling拇指摔跤 game遊戲,
110
262210
1615
04:35
let's do a quick快速 recap回顧 on the positive積極 emotions情緒.
111
263825
2590
我哋好咁諗返下剛才嘅感受
04:38
So curiosity好奇心.
112
266415
1939
第一個係好奇心
04:40
I said "massively大量 multiplayer多層 thumb-wrestling拇指摔跤."
113
268354
1972
當我話「大型多人手指公摔角」
04:42
You were like, "What the hell地獄 is she talking講嘢 about?"
114
270326
1800
你哋就諗,佢究竟講緊咩呀
04:44
So I provoked挑起 a little curiosity好奇心.
115
272126
1877
所以我引起咗小小好奇心
04:46
Creativity創造力: it took creativity創造力 to solve解決 the problem個問題
116
274003
2669
創意:你哋需要創意去
04:48
of getting得到 all the thumbs拇指 into the node節點.
117
276672
1359
將所有手指公連埋一齊
04:50
I'm reaching達到 around and I'm reaching達到 up.
118
278031
1413
我要周圍揾或者向上揾
04:51

04:55
of trying試圖 to wrestle摔跤 two thumbs拇指 at once一旦
is pretty surprising令人驚訝.
121

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.
