This game is the evolution of a previous game called YouChooseAbuse.com, a deliberative activity created for a graduate course exploring civic engagement in a Master of Public Policy and Administration program.
A new game concept was developed to examine higher-level objectives. Whereas the previous game put players in the shoes of a victim, players are now placed in the position of community change-maker.
The Who
Policy Playspace: Program Prototyper is not quite a game for everyone, although efforts are being made to implement game modes for a variety of player-types. The target audience for this game are players that have an idea for a program, process, policy, or product.
The What
The game’s gimmick is a walk-through of the common elements that are requested with proposals. Assuming the players with ideas for programs, processes, policies, or products will want to pursue their idea in some capacity, there are some details that can be worked out and referenced by the end of the game.
