Gamification Engine - General Overview
Use the Gamification Engine to configure badge-based rewards, manage coins and vouchers, and connect achievement mechanics to the rest of the platform.
With GFoundry Gamification Engine you can reward your community by setting milestones, setup badges, build a virtual coins ecosystem, organize users according to their performance using leaderboards and other tools to design a true gamified impactful project.
What is the Gamification Engine?
The Gamification Engine is the reward layer that lets you reinforce behaviors with badges, points, coins, and voucher-based distribution. It is not limited to one module. Instead, it connects achievements to configured triggers and can then feed downstream experiences such as Marketplace redemption or other coin-based mechanics.
In the backoffice, the Gamification Engine menu can contain Badges, Achievement Rewards, Coins Management and Digital Vouchers. Coins Management and Digital Vouchers only appear when virtual coins and vouchers are enabled for your company. Missions are documented in their own collection.
What are Player Journey Maps?
With GFoundry you can create missions presented as Journey Maps. Use your own characters to illustrate the steps, needs, goals, thoughts, feelings, opinions and expectations of your players.
What can I configure in Badges?
You can reward your users by associating a badge with a specific action or goal achievement. Each badge is linked to a trigger in one of the modules enabled for your company, for example finishing a Learn Content, receiving a star badge or winning a competition.
Each badge can be associated with points and virtual currencies.
You can also create silent badges. They are not shown to users and have no image; they are used to progress on missions or to silently give points or coins. On self-service plans, silent badges are only available in the enterprise plan.
What should I use Coins Management for?
Virtual coins can be exchanged for the items your organisation offers in the Marketplace module, which can include contributions to social causes.
They can also be used to buy Learn content that has a price in coins and to buy quiz helps.
Users earn coins by earning badges or redeeming digital voucher codes. Admins can also add or remove coins manually in Coins Management.
How do Tribes & Teams work?
You can compete and achieve your goals alone but also with your Tribe or Team!
Collective achievements reinforce collective identity, inter-help but also promote peer pressure, essential as an incentive to achieve ambitious results!
What should I use Digital Vouchers for?
With GFoundry vouchers you can create rewarding dynamics with a connection to the real world.
You can provide vouchers codes in events, meetings, paper chase type games, and many others!
How does the QR Code → Content feature work?
Each Learn Content has a QR code that you can show from its page in the backoffice. Users open the content by pointing their smartphone camera at the QR code.
QR Codes can be positioned in strategic places, such as equipment, rooms, paper manuals, presentations and conferences, among many other places!
You can also create game dynamics with hidden content, only accessible with a QR code.
What is the Gamification API?
With the GFoundry API you can import your own data and gamify it, for example to update competition rankings automatically.
You can also import data using XLS files, for example the participants and scores of a competition.
