9 Reasons to Gamify with LifeVille!

Welcome Game Creator!

If you are an author, speaker, program creator, business leader, thought leader, community leader or organizational leader then I have VERY exciting news for you.

You can now transform ANYTHING into a LifeVille game for your people to play.  (aka GAMIFY!)

1) TOTAL ENGAGEMENT!

As a leader, your most cherished gift is when people engage with your ideas and make them an active part of their lives AND bring them into their world.  When you gamify with LifeVille your players earn points in the game by applying what they are learning or what you are suggesting in their REAL lives.

The Leader Board creates a dynamic public visibility and accountability that really energizes players to get into the game and get some points on the board!

2) CREATE COMMUNITY

When you Gamify with Lifeville your players become a community as they play the game together.  There are several game dynamics such as: You Inspire Me Points that encourage them to share and support each other.

The Game Board feature is like a FaceBook update page for the players of the game where it is easy to track all of the game action as people play.

3) DEFINE-ABLE ROI

See it. Track it. Measure it. How awesome is that!  As a leader you probably often wonder: is anything really happening out there?  Other than an odd success story you hear along the way it is usually a mystery.  NO MORE.  When you gamify you will know EXACTLY what is going on with EVERYONE participating with you.

And you will see it in a numeric score.  So you can precisely track what is happening AND what is NOT happening with the players of your game.  This will help you know immediately what is clicking with them and where you may need to provide more support, encouragement or additional training.

4) IT’S EASY!

It really is.  You simply identify the exercises, actions and results to play for that you want your players to do to earn points.  You probably already have a lot of this in your book or program documentation so you can just copy and paste it into the game card.

Then you turn on the Social Game features that you want with a click of the mouse: like Spontaneous Play, You Inspire Me, Coaches Challenge, Game Board, Facebook Integration, Hoopla and Sound Effects.

Next add any media that you want to spice up your game card: graphics, video, audio, pdf.  Again, you probably already have a lot of this created.  If not, you can use this as your motivation to get creative!

Finally, select a start and end date for the game and decide if you want to host regular conference calls – aka team meetings! – to gather your players together to talk about the game.

DONE!  GAME ON!

5) IT’S FUN – and nobody get’s left behind!

Super fun actually!  Watch your game come to life as you put the ideas and the media together. When you put it all together the game system makes it look really inviting to get involved.  It is a highly creative process to transform what you want people to do in the world with your ideas into something they can play and share about.

Then as you watch your players score points and share what they are doing and learning.  You can get involved by reading and making comments on players game cards.  You can use the “Coaches Challenge” feature to challenge them to expand what they have done.

It is also really fun to be able to acknowledge the leaders in the game AND at the same time support those who are not scoring many points.  Often in a program we only see the leaders, but when you gamify you have a feedback mechanism to make sure that nobody is left behind!

6) GO VIRAL!

In the Inspiration Economy Sharing is the new Advertising.

As a leader you want more and more people to know about what you and your players are accomplishing in the world and if so inspired, to join in the game!  When you gamify on LifeVille this happens automagically!

The LifeVille social game is totally integrated with Facebook.  So as your players share in the game system, they can click a button to tranfser their accomplishments onto their personal Facebook page. AND they also post on the Facebook fan page that you create for your game.

Each post includes relevant details such as text and pictures from the game element.  AND the name of YOUR Game and a link to your players LifeVille profile where they can recommend your game to others.

7) Your Game is Coach-ABLE

Once your program is organized as a play-able, win-able game then it is VERY easy to see how coaching can help your participants play the game better!
