Secret spy | player one

Uses the decoder ring Writes three sentences

One sentence is the real code Two are decoys

Can’t use other code words in sentences

Challenges

At the beginning, the CIA agent is just guessing

Need a lot of data for patterns to emerge How can we simplify or signify this process

in the game? Is this fun? If not, does it have the

potential to be fun?

Next steps

How can we scale the game (Mechanical Turk)? Can we support users in designing their own codes? How can we ensure privacy of message sender if we’re crowdsourcing

the encryption?

Motivation

Many people don’t know what’s going on in the world.

We’re not going to fix this with a game. Many people don’t understand the tradeoffs

in international negotiations. We can teach this concept without the need

to memorize specific facts.

Steps

1. Listen Read updates from surrounding countries

2. Speak Vote on global policy issues

3. Act Make 3 moves each turn: collect resources, job training, donate resources,

war

Scoring

3 measurements of success: Resources relative to world Reputation Human Capital

Actions will increase some measures while decreasing others Example: war will use resources, may boost or lower reputation

Benefits

Learn about tradeoffs Can build strategies by studying past (or

present) civilizations Learn about compromise Challenging but fun puzzle game

Challenges

Pacing Geography (necessary?) Trolling Is this really educational?
