Your thoughts? Storm/Evacuation/Shelter?

  • We are building a public domain platform for disaster experts to set up their own games.
  • We have been thinking about disaster games in the US and need your thoughts.
  • Interface, usefulness, appropriate applications, accuracy access to all voices, bias, equity, privacy?...
  • I have used the design interface put together a quick illustration of what the first few steps of a hypothetical game might be to get the discussion going

What game would you make?

  • What would the game be about?
  • What is an example question?
  • Sending information vs gathering information from people?
  • How realistic vs. hypothetical?
  • Fun or “exercise” (how much to frame as a game)?
  • Who is your target audience, for example, players?
  • Potential concerns?
  • What strategies would you use to make sure different voices are represented?
  • What strategies would you use to filter people playing for fun vs those sharing real knowledge? Other thoughts? Existing Simulations, Tabletops that might connect?
