I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

At the risk of sounding argumentative (I'm not, really), I disagree that this is a good explaination of RSS to lay people unless they need to be able to hold their own in a conversation with techies.
My company uses RSS to serve our clients' needs and more often than not they haven't a clue what RSS is or does. We have struggled with finding the right way to express to them what it is and does (not necessary how it does it, that's backstage magic for the techies).
Our best position so far is to use an email analogy. We explain that each RSS address is much like an email box and an RSS reader is much like an email reader. Point your reader at the address and it will check to see if there's anything new to present to you. Your reader can be pointed at several RSS addresses. The items that can travel via RSS are many (such as the examples provided in the Zen explaination).
This has been received fairly well since most people understand the send/receive and push/pull mechanism of email readers.
I hope this may help others in my situation.
