Employee Engagement

How to integrate gamification into the workflow and boost team productivity

10 ideas to try right now

• Idea 1: Gamified onboarding quest
  Create a universal quest for new employees that includes an introduction to your company’s policies, office layout, and work schedule – followed by a series of interactive tasks. Reinforce the knowledge with a quiz or mini-game, and reward completion with a guaranteed prize.
• Idea 2: Cybersecurity Game
  Create an educational game on cybersecurity that teaches employees to recognize phishing attempts and follow best practices when handling sensitive data and personal information. You can easily build it using Interacty’s ready-made templates.
• Idea 3: Name Wheel
  Use a simple “Wheel of Fortune”-style game as a randomizer: enter employee names and spin the wheel to decide who goes first in a meeting or takes on the next responsibility. A fun and fair way to keep things dynamic and engaging.
• Idea 4: Learning Checkpoints
  Have a training video for your team? Combine it with a short quiz to ensure the key points were understood. If the topic is complex or information-heavy, consider adding a prize giveaway at the end – a small reward can boost motivation and make the learning process more engaging.
• Idea 5: Icebreaker Games
  Team cohesion is a key factor in the success of modern companies. To help build stronger, more trusting relationships among employees, Interacty offers a wide range of icebreaker game templates. These playful formats encourage team members to get to know each other better, improve communication, and feel more socially connected. Games like Matching, Personalized Quizzes, Memory, and Live Games work great as icebreakers.
• Idea 6: Live Game Event
  Want to add a fun team activity to your event and boost communication? Create a real-time game where employees join in and complete tasks together. Use company-related or themed questions, pick a ready-made template, and launch. At the end, the system selects three winners, and you can reward each with a small prize.
• Idea 7: Wheel of Fortune with Prizes
  Run a light internal giveaway with a simple digital prize wheel. Add small rewards like a t-shirt, a coffee mug, or a gym pass. Set how many times each prize can be won and keep the top reward limited to one winner for a quick recognition moment.
• Idea 8: Create a quiz with an employee well-being survey
  Create a short quiz to understand how employees feel about their work environment. Add a feedback form so they can leave suggestions. This format is easier than a long survey and still gives valuable insights into team well-being and motivation.
• Idea 9: Use interactive presentations
  Interacty presentations let you combine learning content with interactive elements. Start with short slides to share information, then add a quiz to review key points. Include a poll or a memory game to improve retention. This format helps employees stay focused and remember what was presented.
• Idea 10: Wellness initiatives
  Support wellness or sustainability efforts with small themed games. Run a “Green Week” quiz or celebrate Earth Day with an engaging eco-themed challenge for your team. These activities clearly show employees that the company values more than business goals. They create space for reflection, reinforce shared values, and help improve mood, motivation, and overall team connection during internal initiatives.
