AgileGameLab #14 explores the feel of flow
This edition of the AgileGameLab has a focus on how games can support the stade of “Flow” in creative work. Being in a “Flow” you and your team are completely absorbed by what you’re doing. So bring a game to our test drive that you think might help a group to “feel the flow”. You have no idea what to bring? Check our links below. Or just bring something else you like play even if it’s not about flow – the more choices we have the better for everybody.

Agile Game Lab is your test drive to play games in business
The Agile Game Lab is a test drive for serious games. This open space is for everyone* to learn about Agile while having fun and playing games, to improve facilitation skills by hosting a game session or to find peers to design a new game. The Agile Game Lab is special since we bring agile people and game developers together to have an evening full of creativity and fun.

Games to solve serious challenges
We are convinced that games and simulations are useful tools to experience agile practices, to communicate complex problems and to learn how to apply agile and lean thinking to solve them. They are also a great way to explore an issue at work, e.g. how to get rid of command and control, improve flow etc. That’s why games are a very important element of the learning environments we create.

Bring a game! No superpowers but an open mind is required!
Don’t be shy and bring your own game idea to find out if it works while playing with peers. Or try out facilitating a game that you are not yet familiar with. Or just join a session and learn from others. We have some basic moderator materials but please bring anything you need to host a session. There are slots of about 50 minutes for each game. If you need more time, you can play two slots in a row.

Feel free to announce with a post what you like to play
You want to get feedback for your game idea? Just post it as a comment in this meetup or on http://agalab.ideascale.com/.
