On this week’s episode, we’re talking gamification, and we have a contest! Enter to win a copy of Maze Racers. What we played this week:
* Iota
* Guillotine
* Lords of Waterdeep (iOS)
* Earthbound (!!)
* MLB 15: The Show
* Rocket League
* Fallout Shelter
Gamification – making necessary tasks more enjoyable by making them more game-like.
Keys to gamification:
* Do it with tasks that your kids are already doing / need to do.
* Have a measurable goal.
* Reward incremental progress (can be as simple as checking off a chart or adding stars)
* Make it social – kids can indirectly compete against each other or even against mom & dad.
Gamify hiking & fitness! More about geocaching and letterboxing.
To enter the Maze Racers contest: Tell us a story about mazes. Did you get lost in a maze? Love paper mazes? See The Maze Runner in the theater this year? Leave a comment below or on Facebook. One story will be chosen at random to win!
