Collab Lab Collab Lab Starter Kit 1 - 1.5 hours TIME This could be during lunch, at the end of the day if you can still use the office or even at a coffee shop/pub at night Choose 1 - 3 to analyse GAMES Depending on the time and how in-depth you want to go on a particular game. Sometimes it’s good to concentrate on one, and others to compare or see how games interact together As many warm bodies as you can get VOLUNTEERS 3 people are a lesson, 12 is a party. If you have more than 8-10 you can always break in to multiple groups Most any space will do IDEA LAB No real lab required. Having some wall space or a white board helps. Couches are good and it helps to be somewhere you won’t be disturbed @happygeneralist

Collab Lab Collab Lab Format Introduce the game INTRO What it’s useful for and what kind of activity it is accomplishes. I.e. opening, exploring or closing. Play games separately or combine PLAY Playing games at different speeds is helpful to get an idea for how much effort they take to get people to the final goal. Sometimes it’s helpful to play a game multiple times in a row to Allow plenty of discussion time DISCUSS If playing multiple games it can be useful to facilitate discussion in between the games as well as after. The discussion tend to revolve around the mechanics of the game, how people feel as a participant (met or unmet expectations), what applications the games have and how they can be combined with other games we’ve played or know about @happygeneralist
