Guest Speaker Notes

Empathy Game on Fleeing The country and being different than everyone else 

studies said that it did change peoples empathy “a little bit”. 

Got a positive result but it didnt matter because it wasnt big enough. 

“Who is gonna sit down and decide to play a game that will encourage change”

people are not looking for games that encourage change as much. 

Take the lolipop. When you take it it starts the game. your on a zoom call. Tells the story of a facebook stocker. The dangers of sharing your information online. 

You also control the information that the players get at a certain moment in time and throughout the game.

  1. I remember discussing the “Take the Lollipop” game. I remember watching a video about it, and I gotta say, it is a chilling experience. The internet is a dangerous place, and Take the Lollipop does a good job of warning those on the web.

  2. The game that Dr. Wertley discussed sounded really interesting and I wish that it was still around to play it. I also think that he made a good point about “who will even sit down to play a game for change?”. I think that’s important to consider when coming up for games for change ideas
