The first time I was exposed to "gamified thinking" was in an online class, when the teacher said that "gamified thinking helps team management". But the teacher did not elaborate and quickly skipped the topic.
I was very lucky to read the "Magical Design Thinking Game Book" and suddenly realized that the original "gamified thinking" was very useful.
The author of this book is Linlin Tax, who is currently the director of the Design Thinking Innovation Center of the Faculty of Arts of the Communication University of China and a visiting professor at Stanford University. She has written 75 design thinking games from five aspects: cooperative games, exploration games, analytical games, brain hole games, and construction games. Through these games, you can not only inspire unlimited innovation in the team, but also have a significant and far-reaching impact on the team. For individuals, it has the role of discovering their own extraordinary creativity.
Nowadays, more and more companies are aware of the importance of games and apply them to their jobs, such as brain games played during team brainstorming and "you draw me guess" games during team-building activities.
As Mr. Liang Qichao said: "Fun is the source of activity, and when fun dries up, the activity stops." "Games can bring fun, vitality, vitality. This effect stems from our physiological condition. When we experience interesting things, the dopamine secretion in our minds increases, making us more excited and happy, and at the same time, excitement and pleasure will further produce "flow", allowing us to focus more on the present moment, which motivates us to continue to explore and discover more interesting and useful ideas.
Games are a work mode, like a lot of good ideas, which are produced in brainstorming brainstorming. When team members start this game, they don't have to worry about the outcome, they just need to start doing it and saying it, and they are one step closer to the good idea.
It's the kind of game that usually inspires "creative surprises." If the project leader only made a suggestion before brainstorming, it may be vague and unclear. But as the discussion deepened, the goal gradually became deeper. In the process of this exploration, it may even be possible to solve the problem of how to execute and how the team members cooperate.
In such a game atmosphere, the game brings a sense of team belonging. Its inherently attractive nature brings team members closer together and promotes efficient communication within the team.
In games like Truth or Dare, games that help people discuss taboo topics are often the quickest way to get people to open up, be honest, and communicate in depth.
For a good team, the game can not only stimulate healthy competition among team members, but also stimulate teamwork, enhance friendship between team members, and stimulate common fun, so that team members can be cohesive and realize that the ideas they generate belong to the team. Here are 15 games to help improve teamwork:
Like what:
Lie Detector Game: Everyone shares their mood at the time, as well as 3 things about themselves, 2 of which are true and 1 is fake. By playing this game, you can improve the understanding between team members and enhance the sense of trust. At the same time, it can also mobilize everyone's performance, observation, empathy, reasoning, deduction, etc., which helps to enhance the insight ability in the innovation process.
Mood exchange meeting game, that is, everyone spends 15 minutes greeting and chatting with each other before officially starting work activities. Doing so can not only create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, but also establish a harmonious team relationship, which is conducive to the efficient work of the team.
Fire brigade introduction method game, that is, when the music sounds, everyone walks around the venue at will, and when the music stops, the participants have to team up with nearby friends to introduce themselves to each other. This unknown allows team members to better understand each other and deepen their impressions.
Exploring games is a key behavior in achieving design challenges and helps to find answers in games. Here are 15 games to help explore the game:
I changed what game, a bit like the stubble game, that is, divide the team members into two groups, let the participant observe the opposite partner, and then the opposite partner turns his back to change the 3 outfits on his body, and then turns back to let the participant observe. This game allows observers to observe actively, purposefully, and systematically, after all, this is also the way we know the world.
In the frozen game, when the music starts, the participants walk freely around the venue, and when the host touches one of them, the person is immediately frozen and needs to keep the action still. This observation game can be used to focus everyone's attention.
By playing analytics games, you can let some hidden clues emerge automatically, so as to help the team find accurate creative breakthroughs. The following 15 games are analytical games:
Brain hole games, as the name suggests, provide a flexible, open place to encourage people to collide with people who are not adjacent, and these accidental, physical and mental contacts can stimulate creativity. The following 15 games are brain hole games:
You know, not all games can be successful the first time we play, and it is precisely from the loss of the game that we have to learn more. That's when the game really starts. The following 15 are construction games:
"Magical Design Thinking Game Book" is a design thinking game book, the above 75 games seem simple, we usually play more or less, but in the process of the game, there are few set goals, which will lead to the realization of the process of the possibility can continue to increase, so that we are sometimes not in the creation of the game but to do the game, the creation as a completion, but let the game lose its meaning.
As the author Tax Linlin wrote in the book: "The most vital and valuable place in innovative games lies precisely in your transformation and creation of games." "Therefore, at this time, you may wish to integrate the above innovative games into life, integrate into work, learn in practice, and become a real game innovator."
