Ready Player One Week 3

This week Wade goes into the heart of darkness or IOI (Innovative Online Industries).

You'll be reading Ready Player One pages 266 - 372 or Level 3 if you are on audio book.

This week's Interactive Fiction seems to fit with Level 3.

This game is part of the curated list created for the #Metagame Book Club by Sherry Jones. Go here for the full list, resources and articles on how to use Interactive Fiction in education.

Discussion Questions will be posted on Wednesday.

1) What skills do video game players develop? Feel free to refer to the book, your own experiences or what you have observed? How would teach or maybe even coach is the right word if your games become part of the curriculum?

2) If you are playing Ingress, what level are you? Are you playing with other people? What are you enjoying about it?

3) Ingress comes with a narrative. Would you call it an Alternative Reality Game (ARG)? Why or why not? What would be required for it to be an Alternative Reality Games (ARG) ?
