Being a lawyer will always face all kinds of troubles in the society, and playing games can give people happiness. I think I have found the direction in life, which is to play games. So I found three partners-a lawyer, a consultant, and a criminal law researcher.
(This speech is a puzzle-solving game, the clues are hidden in the speech, I wish you success in solving the puzzle!)
Everything can be played
2020.06.07 Beijing
Hello everyone in the audience. My name is Xu Aolin. I used to be a lawyer and now I am a game producer.
The topic of my speech today is “Everything is a Game.”
In order to better illustrate this topic, I turned this speech into a game.
The video just now mentioned three keys hidden in a world called Oasis. This is the plot of the movie “Number One Player”. I also hid three keys in this lecture.
Your goal is to find these three keys, but this is not the end of the game. You have to find a website based on the clues and hints on the key, Solve the final puzzle above.
This game is not only for friends at the scene, as long as you see this video, you can participate in this game. We have prepared generous rewards for everyone. (Not an advertisement, not an advertisement, not an advertisement)
What I just talked about is a very typical example of gamification. The English for gamification is called Gamification. I first learned it from a book. The author is Jane McGonigal.
In this book, he mentioned a point that the game world is a better world than the real world. Games can make up for the shortcomings and shortcomings of the real world, and using gamification methods can make reality better .
How does Jane McGonigal argue this? I>——Have you ever played games?
—No.
——Do you have money?
——They all just graduated and don’t have much money.
——Then what games can you do?
At this time, I thought of one thing. We are not going to do video games, we are going to transform the real world into games. This reminds me of a concept that I came across in Japan in 2011, called Escape Room.
There is an old saying in China, “How can you sweep the world without sweeping a house”. We thought at the time that if we wanted to change the real world into a game, we could start by changing a room. So each of us paid 5,000 yuan and found a house that we thought was very suitable on the rental website. It felt very beautiful. But when we got to the scene, we found that it looks like this:
We only have 20,000 yuan in start-up capital. What can we do to turn such a house into a game? After thinking about it for a long time, I finally found a good way, called “one black to cover up the ugly.” We turned off the lights, put a small wooden figure, and put on a time projection clock, the room seemed to have some game atmosphere.
Among many subway players, one person even challenged me. He said, since you can change the subways of Beijing and Shanghai into secret rooms, would you like to try to transform a small town of 18 square kilometers into a game? Okay, then try it.
So I and him came to the far north, Hulunbuir Ergun City. Only after I got there did I know that this is China’s cold extreme.
I immediately understood why he invited me to do this. Hulunbuir is very prosperous in summer tourism, it is the most important grassland tourist destination. But in winter, the average temperature there reaches minus 30 degrees. All its tourism resources, off-road vehicles, tour guides, hotels, etc., are idle at that time, and a four-star hotel only costs more than 100 yuan. But it has vast snowfields, safari parks, and ice sculptures, so we made a game to connect all these things together.
What kind of game is this? After you arrive at the airport, it is not the tour guide who gets off the plane to pick you up, but a man in black wearing a suit and sunglasses. He will salute you and then hand you a letter of assignment. The first thing you do when you go to the hotel is not to check in, but to find your contact person.
We changed the ice sculpture landscape of the Ice Sculpture City into a big ice sculpture maze, and in the center of the maze is the coldest secret room in the world. You will be chased by men in black on the snowy field.
