Advanced, Play, Design - Week 9 (KJD)

Week 9 Finished Play

Theme

- In response to the theme “Play and Abstraction”. I hosted an event with Studio 1 class. We all played https://skribbl.io/ where you guess the word the person is drawing. It's like charades but you draw out the word instead of acting it out.

Context

- The drawing event I hosted with other students does have a bit of competitiveness to it as there is a score tracker on how much score a player made. The idea of competitiveness is being used in this study (Mosovsky, K., 2018). They had the class in teams and played a Pictionary type of game where each student drew micro biology terminologies and other people had to guess it (even the people in the team).

Method

- I used the skribblio website and hosted a room and invited everyone with the link to join the room and play several rounds. Along with that, I announced rules such as only using a mouse, drawing with one stroke or using one colour.

- I also had to host the event twice as the first time did not go well but here are the screenshots of a few games I played with Eammon and Yee.

Response

- Here is the response to this week. APD Week 9 - Play and Abstract

Reflection

- I wanted to announce more rules in the video but only said one rule throughout the game. I guess we were all having fun playing the game that I even forgot to announce more external forces changing the game a bit.
