Game
for the Masses is research project made to observe social
interactions around gaming. It revealed how people use
games as an interface for conversation, interaction,
play and openess. This game prompted creative thinking
and problem solving. The game was positioned in a gallery
with a small set of rules and instructions, but the
game was left open for development. Over the course
of the night, the game developed into a multiplayer,
3dimensional, architectural, gambling, building site
for ages 3 and up.
