It’s been a long week… not just the normal work stuff but two great events meaning some late nights and I’m just not as young as I once was… in time I’m sure I’ll blog about Thursday’s CloudCamp and give some more details on last night’s Fantastic Tavern (TFT) but, for now,\u00c2\u00a0here’s the highlights on TFT.<\/p>\n

Gamification. I wrote about that after a recent Digital Surrey event and it’s pretty big<\/a>. Big? Hell, last night’s Fantastic Tavern<\/a> needed a night club to house the 300 attendees – I only wish I hadn’t had to leave to catch a train home when the music started… anyway, if 300 people want to come along and learn about gamification, that gives some idea as to how hot the topic is right now.<\/p>\n

Apparently, there are more than 10 million people in the UK who play games for more than 20 hours a week [they must be insomniacs, or don’t have kids\/jobs with long commutes…] and some games are now so heavily played they feature rest rewards!<\/p>\n

We all like the feeling of flow – that balance between skill and satisfaction that produces a neurological hit… so why is reality so dull? And that’s where gamification comes in, building out the game layer to cover education, leisure and work. Bringing in game dynamics and reapply them in the real world.<\/p>\n

Last night’s TFT featured a talk on the ubiquitous gaming culture that is developing around us before we heard lightning talks on the four Ms of gamification (mystery, mastery, membership and meaning). Then, putting that into practice, we split out and brainstormed some topics to gamify Cancer Research UK<\/a>‘s valuable work in a world where an increasingly cashless (and cash-strapped) society is giving less.<\/p>\n

And just to prove the point, an old-school gamification method (i.e. a raffle) was used to get us to give up our cash for Cancer Research and win a Microsoft Xbox 360 system with Kinect.<\/p>\n

I’ll write some more on the ubiquitous gaming culture and the\u00c2\u00a04Ms soon (I’ll try to line up some posts for next week, together with something on Kinect) but, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interested in future TFT events, find out more at The Fantastic Tavern<\/a> site (or @TFTLondon<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
