Jane McGonigal

Jane McGonigal is a game designer, games researcher, and author, specializing in pervasive gaming and alternate reality games (ARGs). In 2011, McGonigal’s first book, Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, was published. In this book, McGonigal expands her scope, looking not only at massively multiplayer online gaming and alternate reality games but also at games more widely. Using current research from the positive psychology movement, McGonigal argues that games contribute powerfully to human happiness and motivation, a sense of meaning, and the development of community.
