Event Details

*UPDATE (5 Feb): we are full house, because of space limitation. But email us if you are dying to come! We'll try to make some arrangement.


2012 is said to be the year of Gamification.
 
Already, companies such as Visa, Samsung, McDonalds or Nike are leveraging game mechanics to encourage their external audiences to engage in desired behaviors. IBM also make use of gamification techniques for internal employee motivation. On the larger social front, there are also initiatives to use extrinsic rewards to motivate the public to engage in positive behaviors.
 
However, these are just early stage manifestations of gamification, and we believe better ideas are just waiting to be conceived. How can we make Singapore or our daily life more fun?
 
For the 1st meetup of the year, held at the cool Standing Sushi Bar @ 8QSAM, we will
1) Briefly introduce the concept of Gamification and discuss examples of how it is leveraged; followed by
2) Case study by a local company; then
3) Breakup into groups for a fun-filled brainstorm and sharing activity; and finally
4) Mingle around for a networking session!
 
The event is free, and all food and drinks are self-paid. But Standing Sushi Bar has kindly agree to give special discount for event attendees. Btw, let you on a secret, we heard their sashimi is AWESOME! . We will be releasing more details soon, so check out (and like it) our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/gamificationsingapore) for the latest updates!

Gamification Singapore



Gamification Singapore (gamification.sg) is a newly setup community group that seeks to explore and share about the usage and application of game design or mechanics in non-game context. More importantly, we hope to approach this topic from a local perspective.

We hope to gather like-minded people to join us in meet-ups/discussion. You may be a

  • Practitioner who will like to share your experiences about incorporating game design or mechanics into your projects; 
  • Researcher who will like to share in-depth knowledge about game design or mechanics; 
  • Learner who wants to learn more about Gamification/Game Design; or
  • just someone who wants to network with these type of people!
