Even Ninja Monkeys Like to Play 1 A New Book Developing and a Not New Book

Hey all. Just a quick one this post, to tell you about t

I have finally started on a new book, preovisionally called Even Ninja Monkeys Have Bad Days, which will be more about how I use gamificaiton in day to day life than it is for business and degin.

Next, I have rereleased Even Ninja Monkeys Like to Play: Unicorn Edition as The Gamification Design Handbook. This is a tactical thing rather than a rewrite – so there is no new content, just a new cover. Like when Harry Potter was released with kids covers and adult covers! Read More ...

NightCafe: A Great Example of Using Points

Treasure Hunts – My Favorite Swiss Army Knife of Gamification

by

I’ve always loved treasure hunts. One of my fondest memories was of my parents creating a huge treasure hunt around the local neighborhood for my birthday party.
