life is already a game. to live is to be constantly building and playing multiple games, whether consciously or unconsciously. we’re in a constant act of co-creation with life - what we do and how the universe responds (and vice-versa) - is the mechanism for us to build and transform ourselves into the kind of being we want to be and our lives into the games we want to play.
our aim with the L1F3.GAME is to create an actual multidimensional game (physical, digital, internal, external, individual and collective), that provides us with an intelligence layer that both shows us the most relevant data/information of our lives and gives us new perspectives of how to use it to play life better and together - whatever this means to us.
this way we can develop more awareness and agency over how we're playing our lives and how else we might want to do it. to make it more fun, effective, conscious, creative, beautiful, or whatever else you value.

life can be seen a game of enacting, re-evaluating and transforming our values all the time. we all value certain things. whether material, tangible (food, shelter, comfort) or intangible (relationships, experiences, states of being). how well are we being able to live according to what we value? it's both a game of becoming who we want to be (internal) and building what we want to build (external). that determines how effective we're being.
just like we’re always observing, orienting ourselves, deciding and acting in the world, this set of processes occur within the frame of someone’s perspectives, history, values and beliefs.
