Play

Johan Huizinga in Homo Ludens:

In the absence of the play-spirit, civilization is impossible.

One might call society a game in the formal sense, if one bears in mind that such a game is the living principle of all civilization.

Enjoy.

Trust that all moves contribute.

Love to play, experiment and cocreate with others

Offer value for everyone

Dont talk, dance!

Play Design Foundations
Play is the most integrated learning there is.

Empower people through co-creation: it's their new reality.

Purposeful messy play is dialogue and helps new reality to emerge*.

Wisdom of Mind, Body, Spirit and Heart are all activated by play.

*Guidance through methods as Theory U or Chaordic Stepping Stones may sometimes help, as they are methods developed upon natural steps of emergence of new realities.

Future Interview

Storyteller tells the story from successfulfuture. Others ask questions to drivecontent.If storyteller blocks, roles are switched.Somebody takes notes.

! For the storyteller: Choose to know.! For the listeners: if you don't get it, story is notclear enough yet.

Situational Prototyping

Project member describes next actions.Second person plays people that will be met.Third person observes and/or coaches.Observer notes down essentials for success.

2nd player: ask to understand, shift with intuition. ! Role play can always be used as an add on.

Play or Game Storming

Turn mind map into game pieces.Determine game objective, players & the playing field.Add event cards, means tokens and other necessities to need. Determine game host and players. Describe actions as moves or challenges in game.Play, tweek, note, learn.

Prototyping

Make it as real as possible. Test play withstakeholders & possible clients. Allow forhacking, sabotaging and rule breaking.

Integrate all feedback. Try again.

Tweek your enjoyment!

The only sacred cow is irreverence. Therefore dare to play with everything.
