World's 1st multiplayer forecasting game asks: What would you do?
In an increasingly unpredictable world besieged by melting ice-caps, earthquakes and floods, it's not difficult to see the advantages of so-called scenario-thinking to help humanity quickly adapt to the vagaries of climate change. Take it one notch further, make it virtual, collective and collaborative, and you've got Superstruct, the world's first "massive multiplayer forecasting game."
Developed by the Palo Alto-based non-profit think tank Institute for the Future, it will launch on September 22 for six weeks. Superstruct is another addition to a line of recent "alternate-reality games" (ARGs), such as "World Without Oil" (WWO), which allow participants to use their "collective intelligence" to create solutions that can apply to real-world problems.
