'A gamepoem might describe an absurd scenario that’s fun to imagine; it might awkwardly gamify an everyday experience in a way that’s meaningful; it might be a parodic set of instructions; it might give rules to follow that result in revelatory experiences; it might be contained within a moment or a lifetime.' - Harry Giles,
http://harrygiles.org/2015/06/17/gamepoems-a-primer/ This workshop is about making gamepoems - short, written games that reflect on life. After a short chat about what gamepoems are and where they're come from - and a chance to test out a couple - we'll make some of our own.
Participant requirements: None, other than an understanding of English - but people can write games in their own language. If people want to understand what gamepoems are this is a good start:
