Strategy based games requiring people skills
– bluffing, negotiating, planning, debating etc
skills could be the basis.
◦ Involve group participation - Should be interesting
enough that people come together and play.

Such a game could be based on themes like
the stock market
◦ Can help beginners learn more about analyzing,
planning, project future scenarios and learning
about stock market itself (in this case).
◦ Will simulate a real life scenario – exciting and
involving competition.
◦ Could be played in teams and see how to look at
different peoples’ perspective and put the best
together.

Could involve bluffing – an under cover skill
required quite often. How well can you bluff,
catch others who are bluffing and convince
others to believe your thoughts.
◦ It is based on analyzing expressions, what others
say, reactions to others actions etc.
◦ Thus, has to be played in real time with the group
being physically together.
◦ Lot of fun to play. Interesting each time you play
due to a different set of players each time.

‘Learning a new skill’ based games – learn to
drive (virtually), how to play guitar, learn a new
language

Multiplayer game - Players at the same level
of learning start together.
◦ Tutorials for many levels are available
◦ Each player gets a limited time which can be used to finish
as many tutorials as desired.
◦ Once time is up, the test starts.
◦ Score based on how many chords can one play correctly.
◦ The current level of test stops when both the players have
made at least 3 wrong answers.
◦ The players wishing to continue to next level can now start
the clock again and continue from the next level of tutorial.
◦ Will be digital but could be made better if we had sound
recognition and players can actually play the instrument.

Instead of a musical instrument- could be
about learning a new language.
◦ Reading
◦ Writing
◦ Speaking
