How about a game similar to Minecraft where you are on an island or a newly discovered planet and your objective is to build a government free society. You would have certain objectives like building a transportation system and different services to meet the community's needs. In the game the users would vote on each persons rules and attemps to meet the objectives based on the democratically selected rules. It would be a model then for a real government-free community to be built at some future time in the real world.

This has still been on my mind a lot. I have steem transferring from that post that I want to use to assist with this. My only stumbling area was being truly offline, and it was also solved with  the use of an offline/online hybrid and started approaching from that direction myself. 
While I love the idea of an actual physical treasure hunt for a trophy embedded with the prize, with the small, global, user base that proves problematic. My solution also was to use the steem platform as a "quest board".
There are so many options and ways for this to develop and I have been a little overwhelmed with what it could eventually be versus what an early version would look like.
I am working on thoughts regarding a "quest" to offer the community that would be completable by anyone regardless of location. I hope to have something with details by early next week.

Happy to see this. I am always intrigued by your posts and perspective, but this has always had me excited with it's thought of what incentivized play could begin to look like.

I love the idea behind ur concep't, the online industries. Is worth billions of dollars annually, and to be able to create or help others develop new games and be reward, with value that can be exchanged to fiat, or other cryptocurrences. I believe would attract lot's off people.

I was thinking of a game like steemit.  As in using people's input to to mine.  
Can you imagine a sort of game like Pokémon go where people out in the world look around for things, kind of like a treasure hunt but with steemit content. 
Example, I  go somewhere out in the real world and love what I see,  so I share some of the things I like about the place. If another steemer is around that location while traveling, exploring or if they just live there, they can be notified about it. If intrigued enough people can go and visit it and also write, take pics or just share what they thought about the place. All while exploring the world and giving people an incentive to get out and share about their world. 
Thoughts?

Treasure hunting is live @andrarchy

Hey, thanks for sharing this awesome idea.

I've been thinking a lot about how can we help create a world of abundance 4 everyone on the planet.  Not sure how you all feel about the potential downsides to exponential growth and the potential impacts of technological unemployment on the most vulnerable in today's world.  I'm optimistic, yet concerned.

I'd like to help make the world a better place for everyone.
So, @andrarchy when I saw your post about The Game, it made my imagination run as to what can be possible with a crowd of change makers here on Steemit and how together this community can build real companies/movements that further accelerate positive change for everyone around the world.  Not only is this going to be a lot of fun, together we can have tremendous positive effects on the quality of life of so many.

Exponential Organizations like this that work together will be UNSTOPPABLE.  

I'm excited to see what the community does.
Thanks for sharing your insight and inspiring the rest of us to communicate and dream bigger!

The game idea is very good, that being said:
You seem to live in a parallel dimension regarding this point:
"On steemit  people can receive immediate compensation in direct proportion to how valuable the crowd believes it to be"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You mean in direct proportion to how valuable 30 people believe it to be.
It doesnt matter if 2000 people believe an idea is valuable here in steemit
the only thing that matters is what this group of 30 people and their bots vote,
YOU KNOW THIS.
Dont be intellectually dishonest please.

The game idea is very good, that being said

"The crowd can build awesome shit!"

Yes they can!

@andrarchy, I always love your explanations of things. You engage listeners from all stages in the game. You've got a lot of originality and ideas. Great videos and blogs. I'm going to keep following you.

Your idea/theory is approved!  Now start nailing down the details, use-cases, and cool experiences!  Do a theoretical example walk-through with 5 imaginary player of how one of these games would unfold...from beginning to winner.

Ok man I need to see this a few times but the general concept is very cool 

This is cool: Anyone who uses Steemit to present GREAT ideas (e.g. rules/prizes) or works together with other people to do the same will be rewarded immediately

I will give some feedback when I get a chance.

Cheers man!

Oh I lost the game..oh different game.

Interested, following and anxious to see more.

I want more of this --- More ideas, more brainstorming. Great stuff.

# Welcome to "THEGAME" (with 240+ players)!

@andrarchy Love the idea! Been in games all my life.  Owned a game store for many years.  Been a DM, doungeon master.  Also used to go to GAMA, the Game Manufacturers Association where I got a free pass every year.
Thanks for making me think more about some sort of game on steemit. :)
I'll look forward to your idea(s) and others.

Virtual prizes may be a better idea to start.  This way everyone has the same access to virtual content and prices.  Will start a post son to start a game I have been thinking about.  To start with some resources outside of steemit to set some form of base for a game.  Thanks for everyone's feedback so far.

Rule: I am binding my mind to provide thought to this game for a share of STEEM DOLLARS. Now that I may have myself motivated. Please feel free to let me know how I may help.  Will dig up my GDD Game Design Document notebook to better guide my thought to materialize more creation in "THE GAME" on steemit.  Will post my part of the game in the (near) future.

Hi. Did this idea ever get developed any further?
