This week marks five years since the book The Participatory Museum was first released. I thought the pinnacle of participatory practice was an exhibit that could inspire collective visitor action without facilitation.

It’s participatory. Stories are a universal and innate way that we communicate with each other in our daily lives. Maybe you think of them is interchangeable terms and you wouldn’t be alone in that. However, and this is a big however, at its foundation “storytelling” is a verb.

Games are already highly participatory, but over the last few years game designers have been giving players more control over the gameworld and experience. Two years ago, I wrote about Will Wright and the rise of "God games" in which players not only function within but control an expanding universe of characters, scenes, and conditions.

What should be our role(s)?
