Gamification - How to become Real Life

Heroes


We all played games, spent many hours charting new territories, gathering new skills and abilities, learning

and solving the most difficult problems.

World of games, World of Heroes

Superman, Batman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Captain Planet, Robin Hood are some of the characters with whom we

embarked in a fantasy journey in the digital world.


•They are all heroes

•They fight evil and help the world

•They solve problems that no one can

•And most important, at least once we wanted to be like them and have super powers to save the world !

What do all these characters have in common?

World of games, World of Heroes

But we had to grow up, real life is always catching up.


Our Real Life heroes

•Doctors who cure critical diseases

•Firemen that go beyond fear and fight the flames, saving countless people

•Scientists who solve problems and give the world inventions that no other could

Some of us pursued their dreams and are real life heroes now

And we thank them for their efforts !


New Age Heroes

But what about us ? What about our desire to be heros, to solve important problems

and to save the world?

In a world where real problems are solved through means of collaboration, digital intelligence and technology are the key !

Well, let's Imagine that we could do all that. being heroes even

without having super powers ?

How ?


What is Gamification ?

Gamification is the craft of deriving all the fun and addicting elements found in games. All these apply to

real world productive activities.

Gamification does not involve games, at least not in the classic way. It is simply absorbing the fun elements of a

game into real-world applications.


Game developers have spent decades learning how to master motivation and engagement.

Games have the amazing ability to keep people engaged for a long

time, build relationships and trust between people, and develop their

creative potential.

Gamification is all about channeling that energy and really make the world better !

Why Gamification ?


Let's discover how to become our favorite heroes in real life through

gamification !


Batman – Research and Technology

Well, we could take into consideration the fact that he has nearly unlimited

resources.

His dedication to research and technology is an example which we can use. We can become real life heroes by

playing Foldit.

Foldit is a game that allows people from all over the world to contribute to AIDS

Research and help making breakthroughs.

One of batman's abilities was finding solutions to puzzling problems where others

couldn't


Captain America - Courage and Support

The true American hero

Like him, we can offer our support, be there for others in need, by playing

Pain Squad.

Pain Squad is a mobile game designed to help kids fight cancer. It provides

data for researchers.

He helped fellow soldiers with support and inspiration to overcome all

difficulties.


Spiderman – Abundant in Energy

Abundant in energy and with a strong desire to overcome all problems, he

has fun solving them.

We can't fly using spider webs unfortunately. Even so, encouraging kids to play Zamzee can solve a real

life problem.

Our next door super hero is flying all around, using his spider webs for helping

people.

Zamzee is a device designed to get kids excited about doing sport.


Iron Man – a leading Force

He integrates devices into his suit, in order to fight crime.

Well, we can't have it all, but at least we can learn and become a leading force in our field and maybe invent

something great.

you may be asking how ?

Khan Academy is a platform that uses games to help people learn better and

faster.

An American billionaire playboy, industrialist and ingenious engineer


superman - World Wide Impact

He uses his superhuman abilities for the benefit of people, whenever and

wherever needed.

Tough job, but not impossible because now our actions can also have world

wide impact by playing FreeRice.

FreeRIce is a platform that uses gamification to fight hunger.

Protector of Humanity


Thor – Thunder Power

He has the ability to create raging thunders to defeat enemies which

threaten the earth.

We can't create thunders. Still, we consume huge amounts of energy - the

source of a world wide problem.

Our hero-like act can be learning and preserving energy using Opower.

OPower aims to solve these problem by utilizing gamification to encourage

people to spent less energy.

Thor, son of Odin, god of thunder


Captain Planet and the Planeteers

His goal is to defend the Earth from the greatest disasters.

Despite captain planet’s effort to stop pollution, it seems that some of us

haven't learned his lessons yet.

We can continue his efforts and protect the environment through m.Paani and

RecycleBank.

The Hero who protects the environment


Robin Hood method

He dedicates his life to helping many people in need.

Of course, We don't encourage you to steal and neither to start a revolution against the rich, but we encourage you to play CrowdRise.

CrowdRise is a platform that Gamifies charity; There people compete for a noble cause.

Taking from the rich and giving to the poor - this is robin hood's method.


Time to Act

Gamification offers us the possibility to really solve world wide problems.

It's time to act ! Choose your cause, be a hero and make the world a better place…
