24 - Turning "Failure" Into Inspirational Games

Tune in for an episode full of flubs, phlegm, and philosophical fumbles. (No failures were harmed… but Samuel’s vocal cords might need a rematch.)

In Episode 24 of Gamify This, hosted live by Puzzle, Sean and Samuel compete to Gamify Failure with chaos, coughs, and a chat savior named Littleraindrop. Samuel (battling a sore throat and extra-unhinged energy) designs games that reframe failure’s context, turning flops into strategic pivots. Sean, meanwhile, focuses on rewiring emotional responses to setbacks, arguing that how you feel about failing matters more than the failure itself.

As theories clash, Samuel’s bombastic rants crescendo into raspy tirades, Sean dissects vulnerability with zen confusion, and Puzzle's hosting abilities are put to the test. Can failure actually be fun? Or will Samuel’s voice give out before Sean’s optimism does?
