Co-creating games through intergenerational design workshops

Mobile game design for the elderly: A study with focus on the motivation to play

“…I have a grandson who always shows me some games on his tablet and I love when he does that''. Intergeneration games were also pointed as a motivational element in the works of Kow et al (2012), Martínez et al (2012), Rice, Cheong, Ng, Chua, and Theng (2012). Ibáñez-martinez andDelgado-mata (2009), Ibáñez andDelgado-mata (2011) also point out the importance of intergenerational games to present a proposal of a game with adaptive difficulty level that provides greater motivation and most fun in a dispute between parents and children, balancing the level of experience of each one.…”

The dynamics of younger and older adult's paired behavior when playing an interactive silhouette game

“…For example, it was suggested, rather than one player hover under a thunderous cloud to prevent a lightning strike, this could require the combined efforts (in what was described as "common effort") of both players. Although a simple analogy, in extending from our previous findings [22], the balance of building positive interdependencies between players to contribute towards shared goals should be considered in relation to utilizing (and capitalizing) on different skill sets, and in the case of older adults, tapping into more abundant life experiences and prior knowledge. At the same time, careful consideration needs to be placed on the extent tasks require players to complete the same activity or set of actions, compared to differentiating their roles for more individual contributions in the game.…”
