Play has been underrated

Play has been underrated.

It’s the key to accelerated learning and growth.

Here are the 4 keys to that growth:

#1 Power

Many people feel powerless in reality. It’s completely untrue, but perception prevails. Play equips folks to act upon new power.

#2 Purpose

Nobody in reality gets purpose just handed to them. But they do in games. Play gives practice with purpose.

#3 People

There are a lot of lonely people out there. But games can pair you up with other people in seconds. People blossom in community. Play gives them that.

#4 Progress

Progress lacks obvious feedback and micro-achievements in reality. Games celebrate every little win you make.

Whatever you’re building at the moment… consider this question: How could I equip people with power, purpose, people and progress?
