Shall We Play a Game?

Learning can be boring. How do you make it fun? How do you make it work? With games, experiences, and surprise.

In an age of fast-paced, high-energy, screen-based engagement, getting content to stick is a challenge. Games and experience are proven to create engagement, hold interest, and boost retention. Science proves it and Fortune 500 companies do it. 

This densely packed, 60-minute seminar showcases the power of experience and games in learning. Elisabeth Garson of Steel Owl Productions takes you behind the scenes of corporate gamification, presenting statistics, facts, and a look at how companies are using games and experiences to train with goal-driven content. She’ll also show you training-based games she’s built including “Mission Five,” table top games, learning-based escape rooms, and more.

You don’t need a gigantic budget to create a game for your company. You just need a good idea. 

At the end of the session, we’ll prove the power of games in learning by involving attendees in a game. If you remember what we’ve taught you, you’ll even win a prize. (A cool prize!)

In this session you will learn:

Why games and experiences work in learning

What happens in your brain during a game (why content sticks)

What other companies have done
