During the presentation we will explore the innovative and dynamically developing practice of serious games to find inspiration for addressing some of the key challenges of our evaluation practice.

We will start with a two-dimensional typology of games for evaluation, distinguishing between the level of complexity of a policy issue, and the intended primary purpose of the inquiry. Then I will present four types of games for evaluation, illustrating them with exemplars of real-life application. These are: games for testing retention of skills and knowledge, games for teaching knowables, games for crash-testing mechanisms, and games for exploring system dynamics.

In conclusion, everyone will assess, using real-time survey, the potential utility of the presented game types for advancing evaluation practice. And, of course, as with all games, there will be the opportunity to win prizes.
