In this paper, we explore the possibility of chance discovery through game play. We describe an educational game for academic career design, and present strategic knowledge that players learned through game play. We discuss the role of game play in acquiring such knowledge in terms of chance discovery, and the validity of the acquired strategies in real-life career design.
