New to Freestyle Socials? The game is simple:
THE HOST: Asks a question like "Should we pee in the shower?"
YOU: Pick a side.
THEN: Share ideas about why your friends might switch!
THE ONLY RULE? Switch sides anytime you're surprised or laughing!
THE GOAL? Disagree. Laugh. Repeat.
This month, Freestyle Socials "Game On!" explores using "gamification" to control our behaviour.
For $500 a day, would you quit the internet for a year?
Ya know, quit scrolling Tik Tok and maybe get a few more steps in every day. You'd have to give up your Duolingo streak but you'd prolly save money on your uber eats bill? Swipe right?
Tinder, Starbucks, social media giants, etc. gamify experiences to nudge us into comin' back again and again. For better or worse, these little nudges have big consequences on our behaviours and thinking in ways we're probably too busy doom scrolling to notice.
"Game On!" asks about this with questions like:
Would you go to a gym where ghosts possess you and work out on your behalf?
Was the "Like" button's invention good for society?
Does Tinder help you find love?
