Guess What’s the Time
Why?
A game you can play by yourself anytime anywhere.
How?
An app is running in the background. At random times during your active hours, it will alert you with a prompt to guess the time. You input the time you think it is, and it will show you how accurate you are. The more you play, the better you’ll get, and you can see your progress in the app.

Test Your Vocabulary
Why?
Have fun while learning and getting to know more about your language skills.
How?
An app that gives you a sentence to rewrite. It then analyzes your sentence and gives you a score based on how developed your vocabulary is. It will also show you other possibilities for rewriting the sentence.

Guess Who I Am Based on Where I Go
Why?
A mystery game between two friends.
How?
You download the game app and invite someone else to join the game. All communication with them is done through our system, so they don’t know who you are. They get an invite explaining that you “the mystery friend” would like to play a game with them. The objective is for them to find out who you are. They can do that by joining the game. Every time you go somewhere, the app on your phone will ask you if you want to share that location with them (and when to do so – you might be with them at that moment and would like the info delayed.) If you do, they will receive a message with this new information. They have an X amount of time (you decide, maybe two days, maybe a week) when they receive information on your whereabouts, and until that deadline they can collect the information on you and try to figure out who you are. They can also ask for some clues from you, using the app messaging system. They have three tries to guess your identity. If they fail all 3 or the time runs out, your identity will be revealed.

A Private Brainstorming Idea Method
Why?
You can play it as a game, but it can have real valuable results.
How?
Create a list of ideas similar to what I create daily here. Send them to a group of participating friends. They each pick one they like to “work on” and they try to add to it their ideas and change it for the better. When they finish, they put it back in the pool of ideas so others can again take them and further work on them as well. The game ends when no one is willing or can do further work on any of the ideas in the pool.

Get the Visitors to Do Your Selling for You
Why?
Convincing a visitor that you are the right choice for them is always hard for the first sale.
How?
Start the sales letter explaining to them that usually what they would be reading now is all the reasons why they should buy. This, however, is different. You want to play a game with them.
You will give them a headline that encompasses all you would say in one long sentence, and put in it all the benefits, features, etc. that are important for you to convey.
You then list for them all the standard points you were going to make a list of short, concise titles. Things like benefits, features, objections, etc. They now have to click on each of these titles one after the other. When they click a title, they will get a pop up with a list relevant to that title (features for a beauty product: not animal tests, shining skin, takes only one minute to apply, etc.) mixing in also such features that are not related. The game is for them to click on the right features only. They do this for all titles.
This way they – and not you – are expressing all the important points you want to make.
You then give them a score, show them the points they missed, and can even give them a reward (maybe a sliding discount dependent on how few they missed – they might even reload the page to get a better score the second time which will only enforce all the point again in their mind), or ask them for their email to send them their scores
