Games appeal to some of our most fundamental drives — and that makes them perfect tools for learning.

Our theory… if people are willing to memorize the entire 320-page Player’s Handbook for Dungeons and Dragons, they’ll learn the rules and routines of your organization if you give them a game that they can beat by applying them.

What is Gamification?

In gamification, we take all of the relevant elements of a complex workplace scenario or procedure, and we build an engaging, interactive, and immersive learning game. As the learners play the game, they consume the ‘rules’ by reading the instructions and then a second time through trial and error as they learn to defeat the game.

Once they’re able to beat the game without difficulty, they’ll have internalized the game’s principles and be able to apply them in a workplace situation.
