Gamification. A term we can all relate to, whether we know the term or not. The first thing many people think of when they think of gamification is digital. Computer games, games on the smartphone, VR or AR... However, gamification can be much more than just something digital. Think of board games, card games, larger set-ups, games on location... Actually, gamification can take any form.
It is also how we think about gamification at Wakaaro. The possibilities are endless and we don't get hung up on one game form or another. The fact that a programmer prefers to put apps together and therefore prefers to take on certain challenges with an app makes sense in a way, but does that make it the best solution? Wakaaro first looks at what the objectives and challenges are, to choose and develop the best solution on that basis. A busy sales manager with little time might benefit more from a digital (gaming, of course) training session on the smartphone that takes only 5 minutes each time and can easily take place between meetings than a complex board game that requires more time. Along the other hand, someone who already spends hours behind a screen will for once be happy to have a physical workout. Or imagine: you want to start a discussion in a classroom between students. Is it best to separate them from each other by each playing a game on their own laptop, or is it better to put them together around a physical board game where they can see the effects of other people's decisions?
We do not tackle this infinite range of different game options alone. Besides our in-house knowledge, we also have a large enough network of specialists who can help us with anything. Can't program a particular app ourselves? Then we'll find someone who can help us with it. Have a card game printed in large print runs? We'll find someone for that, too. This gives us the freedom to go and develop the best solution for each project, without being tied in advance to an app, VR glasses or a board game.
