Who am I?

After we had completed our Wiki pages, the class was to move on to the next task. This task is to create a game for the University. To help us experiment on all the different kinds of games, we were given 40 minutes to play as much board games and video games as we can. 

No I am not joking.

Though I could spend time on this post discussing all of the games that were available I am simply going to discuss one. The one that proved to be the most fun and crowd pleasing of all the games there.

It began with two young men, James Dunn and myself, a pen and some posted notes. The game was simple. James would write the name of someone famous or someone I know on a posted note. He would then stick the posted note on my forehead. Then I would take a posted note and do the same for him. So we would face each other and take turns in asking questions, as we try and figure out who is on our posted notes.

During our second round of the game, it was then that I noticed we were attracting a crowd, as the other students watched and laughed at our silly questions. After James and I were finished with our round, four of our fellow students wanted to have a go at the game. What came next was a good round of laughs, jokes and general fun.

I think this game shows that the best of games are not the ones that are simple, intriguing or random. The best kind of game is the one that can be enjoyed by all. In fact the people that were not taking part in the game and simply watched, were having as much fun as the players themselves. So James and I have partnered up for the next assignment and I feel that if we create a game with that same effect, it will be the best thing we could make.
