Getting startedSome things we’ve learned from games @ work

What How There will be skeptics Not everyone plays games,

how do I motivate everyone to play?

There will be more skeptics How can I prove my success?

How do I know the game approach worked?

How do I find cheaters, broken rules and unfair challenges?

How do I fix a broken rule?

Data data data Use game mechanics to target,

player vs player, self, envigonment

Rigorous A/B testing Begin with an end in mind, start

with a clear objective and measure everything

Make sure every game has a human “game master”

Keep game duration short

Measurement

• be clear about an objective

• know that you have data to support or refute your hypothesis

• it is impossible to collect too much data

• there will be more skeptics

• objective is better than subjective, subjective is better than none

• game mechanics motivate – it’s up to you to know how much is too much and when games become disruptive vs. productive

Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted. - Einstein
