Social Media Board Games

August 10th, 2010 by Andy Merchant

With the recent Social Media Monopoly Board Game doing the online rounds I wanted to find out if any other examples existed.

Back in December, the Liberate Media team created Social Media Snakes and Ladders, the Board Game. The game consists of an interactive downloadable pdf including the snakes and ladders board, and the counters (players) who we referred to as social media tutors. Pick your tutor and let him/her lead you around the board climbing up the well known social media platforms (ladders) or falling down the slippery snakes to become the winner. The board and its contents are A4 in size and can be easily cut out via the guideline.

Other examples include the Social Network Board Game by AIM Product Design Group, which claims to “bring on-line understanding off-line”

According to a recent survey conducted by Blockdot, a firm specialised at Interactive Entertainment and Advergaming technologies, it was revealed that Traditional board games are still one of the most popular gaming genres, with 88 percent of females and 80 percent of males confirming they had a positive intent to play these games.

Which begs the question, what next?

Social Media Scrabble?

Social Media Game of Life?

Social Media Cluedo?

Do you know of any other social media games? Let us know in the comments.
