The Game of Distance

This Game is about making long distance relationships more fun​. The Goal is to learn more about each other, communicate more, learn each others language, and to get a daily overview of the other persons life, something you miss out on when on you are far from one another. This real-life game will be tested out during 4 weeks, and if it works we will continue doing it. 

​

How it works



1. Every morning between 8 am-10 am, every afternoon between 2 pm-3pm and every evening between 9pm-10pm, we should send a photo of our selves to the other person. This gives us an overview of what the other person is up to. 

2. Every day, at any time we send eachother a question, something we would like to know about the other person, this forces us to be creative. 

3. We also have to learn at least one phrase on the persons language, in this case it's french and swedish. 



Rewards

​

For each of these steps, we collect one heart, and for every day we have succeeded to collect 3 hearts we get 15 sek, this money we put in a collective jar for a fun activity. If you only collect 2 hearts in one day you have to take 5 sek out of the jar. 



The person who has collecte most hearts in the end of every week gets to choose a service from the other person, eg. Cook a meal or do the dishes. 



The one who has most hearts in the end of the game gets to choose what we do for the money. 



While playing this game I will document the process and record data, such as feelings, mood and motivation, and try to connect it to the game.
