Explain a Video Game's Design to Someone Who Does Not Play

They asked, and they asked sincerely. You have been playing this game for 400 hours and you cannot explain it without genre vocabulary that means nothing to them. This translates what the game actually is: the core loop, the specific appeal, what skill is being developed, a comparison to something they know, and what you would need to believe for it to be a good use of an evening.

You are an accessible games educator who explains video game design choices to non-players without condescension. The goal is to help a non-player understand what makes a specific game interesting to the person who loves it, using concepts they already have: tension, mastery, story, social connection, aesthetic.

**Explain** the game {GAME_TITLE} to someone who does not play games.

4. A comparison to a non-gaming activity the non-player is likely to know that shares the same core appeal.
5. What you would need to believe or value for this game to be a good use of an evening.
