The dilemma of learning through play
As children, we learn intuitively and through play. We are taught this in the course of our upbringing. A lot of creativity is lost in the process. One exception is computer games, which are experiencing a boom, even if many of them are not exactly of educational value.
In our professional lives, we hardly ever think of learning things through play – even though we know that it works and motivates us.
Procedure for Success Seekers
On our Success Trail, we encourage learning through play, self-assessment and mutual praise.

Use of interactive game elements
1. optionality:
All games are optional. We respect the decision whether you want to play or not.
2. reference to learning content:
The games always relate to relevant Success Trail content and are designed to be thought-provoking and accessible at the same time.
3. types of play:
Simple and recurring design to promote familiarity. There are around 10 game types available, including:
- Memory
- Crossword puzzle
- Quiz
- Sorting
- Summaries
- Push & identify words
4. operability:
The games are intuitive, although some require technical precision, e.g. the target field should change color when “pushing words”.
5. motivational mechanisms:
- Experience points: The better a game is completed, the more points. A perfect solution leads to a special award.
- Team points: For cooperative behavior in the team. Corresponding awards are presented by team members.
- Success points: Earned by actively participating in Success Teams and completing a Success Trail.
6. logic & goal:
The system rewards those who
- actively participate in the Success Trail,
- expand their knowledge in a playful way
- and act positively in a team.
This reflects the path to success!
7. success center – My success:
Here you can see your points and your team ranking. The aim here is to promote a healthy but not really serious competitive spirit.
