Teaching people how to play video games is a topic that has received more and more attention in recent years. Where video game tutorials used to consist of just a single boring practice room or an incomprehensible list of controls, video game tutorials now include epic quests, cinematic adventures, and concise, easy-to-understand lessons… So why, despite all these improvements, do tutorials still not work for many different games?

Try as they might, game developers can't seem to get us to understand games with the help of tutorials. So it's up to the architect to dive into wormholes, defend ancients, and explore strange new lands to figure out why that is. As it turns out, we've been neglecting a number of different ways of teaching video games that have been eclipsed by tutorials for years, each method with its own strengths and weaknesses.
