Adrian joins Matthew to explain why, in a tech-driven world, we often have no choice but to play - and why losing can incur heavy penalties. </p><p>Adrian Hon is the CEO and founder of <a href="http://www.sixtostart.com/">Six to Start</a>, co-creator of the world’s most successful smartphone fitness game, <a href="http://www.zombiesrungame.com/">Zombies, Run!</a> Other games Adrian has designed, like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Tell_Stories">We Tell Stories</a>, have won awards including Best of Show at SXSW and been <a href="https://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2011/talktome/objects/140012/">displayed at MOMA</a> and the Design Museum.
