Professor Game

Too Big Of A Challenge On this episode of Professor Game, Sierra Grandy shares insights with Rob on how societal expectations can push individuals towards quests that may not align with their true values or strengths, particularly in the realm of neurodiversity. She described her personal journey of balancing the demands of professional life with energy limitations due to her neurodivergence and disability. She also highlighted the struggle against social injustices and how overwhelming it can feel to face these massive challenges alone. How do you tackle the overwhelm that comes with facing large-scale societal challenges? 🎥Watch the full episode (link in comments) _________________________________________ Struggling to engage your audience? 👉Join The (FREE) Professor Game Community Now & Learn how to create true loyalty🕹 (link in comments) _________________________________________ #gamification #userengagement #professorgame #gameinspired #gamedesign #loyalty #engagement #retention #churn #neurodivergence #neurodiversity

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a movement. In February, Rob will be part of the Gamification Global Gathering in Krakow with 40 incredible speakers focused on leveraging gamification for sustainable development. Organized by Antonios Triantafyllakis and a fantastic team, this isn’t just a conference; it’s a unique chance for businesses, nonprofits, and individuals to connect and innovate solutions for our planet. On the Professor Game Podcast, we discuss how its thematic focus promises to bring a different audience than the classic Gamification Conferences.

Conferences are evolving, and the Gamification Global Gathering 2025 is leading the charge. Unlike typical gatherings that often circle within the same niche, this conference organized by Antonios Triantafyllakis of Gamification Global is all about creating impact—specifically in the realm of environmental sustainability. On this interview on the Professor Game podcast, Rob also reveals that besides being a speaker at the conference, he will also be conducting a workshop! More details in the comments. It's refreshing to see an event where the theme isn’t just a title but the driving force behind meaningful partnerships aimed at long-term goals. This focus on actionable outcomes rather than broad discussions is crucial if we genuinely want to use gamification for a better world. So, what’s your take? How important is it for conferences to have a specific and impactful theme? 🎥Watch the full episode (link in comments) _________________________________________ Struggling to engage your audience? 👉Join The (FREE) Professor Game Community Now & Learn how to create true loyalty🕹 (link in comments) _________________________________________ #gamification #businessinnovation #userengagement #professorgame #gameinspired #gamedesign #loyalty #engagement #retention #churn #workshop #conference #sustainability

Small Things That Make Big Differences In Game Development. Bobby Voicu shared our host Rob an eye-opening experience about game design that we can all learn from. He emphasized the power of incremental changes—like introducing tournaments to a solitaire game—that transformed user engagement and skyrocketed MIXRIFT's growth. After years of effort, this seemingly small tweak boosted their retention and conversion rates significantly, turning them into profits. This was only possible because Bobby made sure that he removed other obstacles in the way of the team so they could dedicate their full attention to looking for these opportunities and testing them out.

Prototype To Kill Prototyping isn’t just about asking questions. As Bobby Voicu of MIXRIFT discusses, to truly understand what players want, you need to observe how they engage with your game. Asking a few friends for feedback can be misleading. Real data from larger groups gives you insights into player behavior and preferences that surveys simply can’t capture. When designing games, I’ve realized it’s crucial to look beyond individual feedback and see how the broad market reacts. It’s like balancing game difficulty; what players think they want often differs from what they really enjoy once the gameplay unfolds.

Reinvent Christmas to Be Successful. That sounds ridiculous right? Then why do we feel like when we come up with a theme for a part of an experience with our users, it has to be 100% original, or have an entirely new spin on the subject? The Elf on The Shelf (controversial to some!) is a good example of using the whole "Santaverse" to include a new piece and have massive success.

Such an honor to have Rob working with institutions of such prestige. Not many are venturing to talk openly about #gameinspired solutions to their students, so kudos to EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht for taking that lead!
