Abstract

Game Design for Social Networks is a one-day workshop where the participants will learn about creating and designing game concepts for online social networking platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter. The workshop will center around exercises that enable participants to come up with new game concepts. Participants will also be able to bring existing ideas to the workshop, and have a chance to refine them through the analytical design approaches introduced throughout the day. This paper outlines the theoretical backgrounds of the workshop.
