Exploring game design mind maps

These maps show game ideas as connected branches. Play and Learn brings together an audience, a space topic and ideas for learning. Teenage life simulation game branches into home, school and social life, alongside rules and consequences.

For a starting point, open Play and Learn and follow the links between the intended players and the game ideas. Then look at Clicker Game for a different kind of plan, with branches for aesthetics, features and existing solutions.

Using maps to revise

As you read, note the headings that help you organise an idea. Compare how the maps connect an audience or game context to features. Teachers could use the branches as prompts for a class discussion.

If you want to test or record your ideas differently, look for a quiz or notes on the Game Design unit page. Try using a map to plan an idea of your own.
