Gametize is the world’s simplest enterprise-grade gamification platform for community engagement and advocacy.

The highly customizable and versatile solution is available on both cloud and on-premises. Anyone can create a white-label web/mobile campaign in just 5 minutes, leveraging Gametize’s key gamification mechanics (interactive challenges, automated feedbacks, competition and socializing, and rewards redemption), coupled with their own narratives and theme. Users can complete these fun, social challenges such as answering a trivia, post a photo, and later receive feedbacks such as points, badges, before redeeming prizes such as “lunch with a celebrity” in the rewards store. Gametize is trusted by brands such as Shell, Samsung, P&G, DBS, Singtel, and Accenture, with 15 million challenge completions and more than 300,000 registered users. Gametize has been endorsed by academics and research companies in reports or case studies, such as Bond University, San Jose State University, Forrester.

Gametize is designed with a strong focus on gamification, because it is a proven strategy for motivating behaviors and learning backed by case studies (e.g. Delta Airlines, Microsoft). A pilot case study in Singapore Management University shows that 80% of the students want to see more games powered by Gametize after undergoing a gametized experience for learning Leadership and Teambuilding.
