SCVNGRs Secret Game Mechanics Playdeck

• Aug 25, 2010 from JayOatway(Jay Oatway) in *
  Some companies keep a playbook of product tips, tricks and trade secrets. Zynga has an internal playbook, for instance, that is a collection of concepts, techniques, know-how and best practices for developing successful and distinctive social games. Zyngas playbook has entered the realm of legend and was even the subject of a lawsuit.
  SCVNGR, which makes a mobile game with real-world challenges, has a playdeck. It is a deck of cards listing nearly 50 different game mechanics that can be mixed and matched to create the foundation for different types of games. Ive republished the accompanying document below, which should be interesting to anybody trying to inject a gaming dimension into their products.
  Rght now, that should be a lot of people. Every six months or so, a set of features sweeps across the Web and every site and app feels the pressure to adopt it. Weve seen this with social, geo, and now game mechanics. Of course, all games on the Web have some sort of game mechanicsthose elements of game play which make them fun and addictive. But game mechanics are spreading to all kinds of apps, most famously Foursquare (which makes you check into places for badges and rewards). At our Social Currency CrunchUp in July, we had a panel which explored how game mechanics are invading everything. (One of the CEOs on the panel was SCVNGRs Seth Priebatsch). Every site from Mint to the Huffington Post now has some sort of game mechanics.
  SVNGRs playdeck tries to break down the game mechanics into their constituent parts. Some elements are as basic as achievements, status, and virtual items. But there are also more complex ones such as the appointment dynamic (a player must return at a specific time and perform an action to get a reward, like in Farmville), free lunch (a player gets something because of the efforts of other people,like in Groupon), fun once, fun always (a simple action that maintains a minimum level of enjoyment no matter how many times you do it, like Foursquares check-ins), and cascading information theory (give out information in the smallest dribblets possible to keep players guessing and moving forward). SCVNGR employees are instructed to memorize the flash cards. Now you can too. There will be a quiz.
  SCVNGR Game Dynamics Playdeck
  
  Guide To This Document: This list is a collection of game dynamics terms, game dynamics theories that are interesting, useful and potentially applicable to your work here at SCVNGR. Many of them have clear applications within the SCVNGR game layer (progression dynamic, actualization), many of them dont yet (status, virtual items). Many of them are just interesting for your general education on game dynamics theory (epic meaning, social fabric of games). Many of these game dynamics concepts are well known and are sourced from all over the internet and from researchers such as Jane McGonigal, Ian Bogost and Jess Schell and articles on gamasutra (which I highly recommend reading). Others are used exclusively internally here and wont make any sense outside of HQ. Along with a link to this document, you will have received these dynamics in a set of flash cards. Please memorize those. If youre on the engineering / game-design team you can access our internal game dynamics visualizer (with the most up to date dynamics) through your account. Download the SCVNGR app for iPhone& Android (if you havent already) and start playing. Find places where these game dynamics exist or places where you could implement them by building on the game layer using our tools, or others.
  1. Achievement
  Definition: A virtual or physical representation of having accomplished something. These are often viewed as rewards in and of themselves.
  Example: a badge, a level, a reward, points, really anything defined as a reward can be a reward.
  2. Appointment Dynamic
  Definition: A dynamic in which to succeed, one must return at a predefined time to take some action. Appointment dynamics are often deeply related to interval based reward schedules or avoidance dyanmics.
  Example: Cafe World and Farmville where if you return at a set time to do something you get something good, and if you dont something bad happens.
  3. Avoidance
  Definition: The act of inducing player behavior not by giving a reward, but by not instituting a punishment. Produces consistent level of activity, timed around the schedule.
  Example: Press a lever every 30 seconds to not get shocked.
  4. Behavioral Contrast
  Definition: The theory defining how behavior can shift greatly based on changed expectations.
  Example: A monkey presses a lever and is given lettuce. The monkey is happy and continues to press the lever. Then it gets a grape one time. The monkey is delighted. The next time it presses the lever it gets lettuce again. Rather than being happy, as it was before, it goes ballistic throwing the lettuce at the experimenter. (In some experiments, a second monkey is placed in the cage, but tied to a rope so it cant access...
