Any 'portable' fluid experience is a great thing. I just wish people would see beyond the 'game' function (or, lack of true functionality defined the old-fashioned way) and take advantage of these great opportunities. The knowledge hunts or puzzles for groups are a totally fascinating idea. I wish someone would come up with a truly functional and appealing way to apply this in business and education (and stop thinking about the financial benefit because it would come in time). People don't realize how much it could help learning and productivity - not as a 'trick' but as a way of making use of people's different perspectives. If the people can't go to the mountain and we can bring the mountain to the people, why aren't we doing it? Baffled again. Great! Any ‘portable’ fluid experience is a great thing.
