5-Minute Games You Should Know: Playable Polls – A New Era of Opinion Gathering Through Games
Description
What if gathering public opinion could be fun and interactive? In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking research of Lindsay Grace, who explores the use of games as polling systems. Grace introduces the concept of playable polls—interactive games designed to collect player opinions and sentiment in a more engaging and effective way than traditional methods. Through the design and testing of three prototype games focused on identifying fake news, Grace reveals how these playable polls can gather meaningful data while keeping players entertained.
We'll take you behind the scenes of the third prototype, tested at an international conference with 287 play sessions, and explore the potential of this innovative method to transform how we understand public perception. Whether you're into gaming, data collection, or just curious about the future of polling, this episode is one you won't want to miss!
