4. Games towards social activism
• by Jane McGonigal (Avant Game)
• and Ian Bogost (Persuasive Games)
5. Rules
• It’s a real world game
- Find yourself a group
- Assassinate other group members
- Each member of a group has to carry
an item which they have to surrender if
they are assassinated
- Clues are provided via sms
- You have 3 weapons to dispose of your opponnents
8. World without oil
• A blogging game of sorts where people would post videos
and pictures to simulate a world without oil for the first 32
weeks.
Members would then post a blog of their “lives during the
oil crsis” and others would respond with suggestions etc

9. Conclusion
• Gaming is one of the most influential and predominant form of media and it
can be potentially used to open a few eyes
As designers, games can come in many forms and we shouldn’t just be
constricted to what we already know
