Since humans exist, they are playing. Animals play, some playing more, some less. In nature and earlier times humans and animals played to learn something. A game was a playful way of learning. Taking the example of hide and seek where our hearing senses get trained, play catching to learn something for the hunt. It is proved that people can learn through games and change their behaviour. Johan Huizinga wrote in his book “Homo ludens: Vom Ursprung der Kultur als Spiel” (translated: From the Origin of Culture as a Game)the game is a characteristic feature of humans. Progress can only be achieved through play. Progress thrives on leaving the normal world behind and trying something new. A competition,  the desire to win and the desire to overcome difficulties, supports the joy of playing. This pleasure in the game is also essential when it comes to entrepreneurial innovations. Innovation happens according to the rules of the game: it is the fun of the new, the playful handling of reality, the competition and the will to try something out.
