READY PLAYER ONE?

The 3 phases of gameplay entail:

The background. The Why. The discovery.
The call to adventure (CTA) - an invitation to engage.
The quest
The return

They fall into the beginning (1), middle (2), and end (3) continuum.

Each event is an adventure.

Example:

Discovery
SLONW CTA
Event occurs (the experience)
Return with the elixir (the artifact)

FOMO is planted in the CTA (1).
