The topic of our Redesigning Business masterclass was to gamify the three new economies (civic, circular and sharing economy) as well as the old economy. In practice this meant that our goal was to make a pervasive game, so that symposium visitors can experience the three different types of new economies and the old economy.
Overall Experience
Our game works like this. Visitors of the Symposium get handed different stickers at the entrance. The sticker defines in which team you are. The idea is that you can play individually, but your work will have consequences for your entire team. You have to work together with strangers for a common goal. You've got to build lego figures using four different economical strategies at the four different stands. But there's a catch: at all the stands you've got to build the lego figure in exactly one minute. If you win, you earn a point for your team. You can experience the four different ways of building lego figures, which are connected to the economies at their mechanical core. The civic economy game is explained below.
Definition
The civic economy is a economy-design based on co-operating and local production, local entrepreneurs and local resources.
Gameplay and storytelling
The civic economy game is a game where you can make a product with local ingredients, but you only have yellow or black ingredients. You have to negotiate with the other local company to trade your leftovers. Together you'll be able to finalize your products. In practice that means that you start working on a product at one stand, which only has recourse A –grain, for example. But you also need recourse B to make your product –coal, for example. You have to go to the other stand with recourse A (a product you have too much of) and trade it there for recourse B (which are leftovers for the other stand, too). You can start making your product at both stands as starting point, but eventually you'll need the leftover resource of the other stand to finish your product.
