Design a Game
Our last Beautiful Journey’s topic about games is how to design thematic and high impact games. In this post is the actual designing of the game.
1. Set a goal- think on what is your goal in the specific that you are about to design.
2. Set time- a lot of extra time is needed for contingency.
3. Gather participants- know your audience. Make sure that the game you will be designing will protect integrity especially teenagers.
4. Decide on what type of game- longer preparation is needed for big events.
5. Decide whether the game should be your invention or your innovation- read and research. Have an element of surprise.
6. Get referees- make sure that your referees can handle people, can core fairly, can be used as props, someone had authority, cool, can pacify others and can take the heat.
7. Prepare equipments and props- you can borrow stuff and create an environment.
8. Make the rules and scoring system- make your last game your biggest game. Always put bonus points.
9. Troubleshoot- think of possible things that could go wrong. Play the game first before you introduce it.
10. Do not forget the prize and rewards- it does not have to cost you much.
