The type of play as caused by Makey Makey fits well with the need of families for shared experiences. From recognized differences, everyone contributes to the quality of the play from their own talents and possibilities.
Without having to hold back (letting worse players win);
Without being given a task that is too difficult (mastery);
With a strong sense of shared achievement.

To create a good social game for families, you need to explicitly include these differences and – even better – use them as a strength. For Klokhuis, I am working on an app for families about science, in which we are going to do exactly this.

Motor is a system of asking questions: we teach people to ask questions themselves and to find the answer themselves.
Players: Anyone who wants to participate
Assignment: Win by knowing
Gameplay: Player-chosen (exploratory, open competition, or 100% prescribed)
Context: a fixed set of things
Role app: as a guide in the process
The context of a game makes it accessible and attractive for both parents (educational, clear what I have to do) and children (fun!).
