take it as a game | as a serious ritual | as a serious experiment
cooperate or defect on the implicit rule allowing play behaviour ~ “you are allowed to play and experiment in games and this is safe. it is understood actions you take within the game will not be used as an evidence of intent outside of the game”.

the meta-game of making the game interesting; cf munchkin
the meta-game of making the experiment valuable for learning
coordination about which of these games we are playing

There seem to be multiple meta- games
press the button or not
