A Perfect Game to Illustrate Meaninglessness

by jessen on December 22, 2009

One of the goals of Positive Psychology is to help create organizations that create meaning for its employees.

With that in mind, I came across an interesting game from MolleIndustria called “Everyday the Same Dream.”

What really impressed me about this game is its ability to deliver a message in simple illustrations and game play.

I have taken screenshots of the game. But I encourage everyone to check it out here.

I would like to end with a question: What can we do to create shared meaning in our organizations today?

Screenshots:

This is how the game starts:

Daily breakfast.

image

Daily traffic congestion.

image

Daily encounter with the Boss.

image

Making one’s way to the cubicle.

image

Zooming out to show context. Lots of other cubicles.

image

Just another cog in a wheel.

image

The game starts all over again. Similar to Groundhog Day.

This is where it became darker.

image

Not a good idea.
