TAKEAWAYS
• All games carry great learning potential.
• To build a game with a specific agenda is very
very difficult.
• If you want to use gamification you should
scope properly and really focus on the User
Experience (UX).
• Motivators are key to determine the outcome
on a user’s engagement and behavior
