101 ways to engage a gamer, take them away from their console and free their mind.
A step-by-step guide to encouraging your gamer to engage in real games in the real world, with 101 simple ideas to try.
It's the perfect gift for someone (most likely a much-loved teenager in your life!) who may be gaming just a little 'too much'. Rather than trying to spoil anyone's fun, this book aims to inspire you to spend a little less time gaming, and a little more time doing fun things with the people that matter to you instead! We know it's hard, but this book will help you give it a try one step at a time.
Step 1 - uninstall all games on your phone, unplug your computer, hide your controller and console.
Step 2 - leave your room and enter the real world.
Step 3 - turn to the first page and prepare yourself for the craziest tasks and challenges you can imagine.
Collect rewards for completed tasks and progress a little more every day.
You can keep track of your achievements in the back of the book.
Your country needs you! The better you do, the more you can help maintain the world order.

About the Author
Ilka Heinemann is the owner of a somewhat outdated smartphone and can't resist the urge to tap its screen during rare free moments. She works as an editor at a publishing house and has a passion for books in her private life too. She couldn't help noticing that in situations when people used to read books or simply let their minds wander, they are now playing around with their phones. While travelling on the tube, surrounded by smartphone maniacs, the idea came to her for this book.
