Teaching Encryption to Kids
Why?
It’s important not only because of the constantly connected world we live in, or the increasing government prying into our private lives but also as an important concept and a way of thinking.
How?
Games that are fun to play and teach the player many aspects of encryption. The more games they play the more complex concepts and techniques they learn.

Story Making Card Game Packs for Kids and Adults
Why?
For kids: help them have some structure to their story, and show them many different possibilities. For all: help them get going with their imagination, and have fun.
How?
Have different card packs for different aspects of storytelling. Structure, genres (romantic, detective, fantasy etc.), time periods, style (narrated, first person etc.), atmosphere etc. Can also be done online (website, app), and an online community where the finished stories can be published.

The Status Game: Where Do You Stand?
Why?
To find out and validate what your status really is.
How?
Choose from a status scale (poor to rich, illiterate to polyhistor, pleb to king etc.), where you place yourself on it, and invite your friends to anonymously affirm your place in the hierarchy or place you somewhere else on the scale.

An Observation Game To Improve Your Capabilities
Why?
Train your observations skills by watching others (at a party for instance), writing your observations and your deductions based on these observations. Then find out all you can about the person or persons you observed, and take notes of what you find out. Lastly, compare your two notes and write an analysis of the differences and why you think these differences exist.
How?
Use a notebook or maybe an app built just for that. Either way, there should be the following notes for each experiment: initial observations, deductions, facts after getting to know the subjects, analysis of the differences and the potential reasons for them.

Twenty Questions With Players Near You
Why?
When you are bored, alone somewhere (sitting on the bus on your way home), and would like to play with someone real (as opposed to a machine.)
How?
An app that will match you with someone else who is in the same general area. Then it will allow one of you to think of something that is visible in that area, and allows you two to play the game through the app’s interface.
