Crazy Game Idea 4: Personality-based games

Premise: You have preferences. You have style. So why not play a game that tailors to You? Pick from four game play personalities and pursue goals that motivate You.

Features:

• Uses personality testing from gameplay research to tailor game play to your style - wanderer, manager, conqueror, participant


• Goals adjust to your style - Wanderers tour while catching butterflies, managers systematize, conquerors strategize and participants socialize.


• Game either lets you pick from 4 choice presented as avatars or missions or it automatically detects your style as you play.

Why play this game:There is very little gameplay described here. The styles have ultimately the same goal to catch as many butterflies as they can, but the goal is presented to them in a different way. The idea of presenting the same game in different ways intrigues me. You can read a list of styles or take a questionnaire to determine your own. I wonder if the bulk of games correlate to a particular style and if it accounts for the lack of diversity. Creating a game that is everything to everyone might be one way of attracting diverse gamers.
