Event Details
What is gamification? Traditionally it has meant borrowing concepts from games to spice up a product, service or campaign, usually taking the form of leaderboards, badges, points and levels. We think this definition is too simple and outdated - and there is so much more that we can learn from games.
After holding its first public workshops in mainland China last November, Press Start Hong Kong is back with a first public seminar in Shanghai - and to invite you on our journey to explore the world through games.
To set the context, we'll go through a brief history of games and explore the historical and societal importance of games, before an introduction of game design principles, the design cycle, our interpretation of gamification, and a short academic dissection of game-based program and curriculum design. We will close with some case studies and stories from our portfolio to illustrate the power of games and show a glimpse of a compelling future where learning and innovation is hands-on, fun and engaging.
What we'll explore:
- Games: A journey through time
- The rule of 7: A discussion on Monopoly and luck
- Game design principles and the design cycle
- Games vs. play vs. gamification
- Gaming psychology and the importance of flow
- Game-based program and curriculum design: Case studies and examples
