Abstract: Apart from individual learning advances, players also adapt their strategies when playing repeatedly with others in multiplayer group scenarios. We describe a setup for a Social Dilemma Game, tightly connected to Facebook, measuring users’ behaviour and game results and connect these data to social network information in order to create a graph model that can simulate and predict the group behaviour. Thus, results are expected to support the hypotheses about the relation between friendship or player attribute similarity with the probability of choosing a cooperative strategy. This will build the ground for further research and design for group training games, scenarios and peer matching algorithms.
