Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic game deployment. In one implementation, a processing device provides a first game to a first user. The processing device receives one or more first interactions from the first user with respect to the first game. The processing device processes the one or more first interactions to compute a value associated with a defined achievement. The processing device generating, based on the value, a first prompt, the first prompt comprising a notification of a first reward associated with the defined achievement. The processing device provides the first prompt within the first game.

Claims

1. A method for dynamic game deployment allowing an organization to deploy games across multiple users, the method comprising:

providing multiple games including at least a first game and a second game from a gamification engine of a game server over a network to a first user operating a user device, the first game including an interactive challenge encouraging the first user to achieve at least one objective and the second game including another interactive challenge encouraging the first user to achieve a second objective;

receiving one or more first interactions from the first user with respect to the first game and one or more second interactions from the first user with respect to the second game, the one or more first and second interactions occurring through manipulation of a selectable control provided on a user interface, wherein manipulation of the selectable control relays the one or more first and second interactions to the game server over the network;

analyzing, using the processing device, the first interactions and the second interactions to identify one or more tendencies associated with the first user;

identifying one or more services of interest to the first user based on the identified tendencies;

processing, with a processing device, the one or more first interactions and the one or more second interactions to compute a value associated with a defined achievement related to the one or more services, the computed value representing an expected value to the organization of the first user accepting the one or more services;

generating, based on the value computed as a result of the one or more first and second interactions, a first prompt, the first prompt comprising a notification of a first reward resulting from the first or second interactions and offering the one or more services, the first prompt including a link allowing the first user to navigate over the network to a page including details regarding the first reward and the one or more services; and

providing the first prompt within the first game or the second game over the network to the first user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving one or more interactions from a second user;

processing the one or more interactions from the second user to determine a degree of achievement of the second user with respect to the defined achievement;

generating, based on the degree of achievement of the second user, a second prompt, the second prompt comprising a notification of the degree of achievement of the second user in relation to the first game; and

providing the second prompt to the first user within the first game.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein receiving one or more interactions from a second user comprises receiving one or more interactions from a second user with respect to the first game.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein receiving one or more interactions from a second user comprises receiving one or more interactions from a second user with respect to the second game.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving one or more second interactions from the first user with respect to the first game;

processing the one or more second interactions to compute an updated value associated with a defined achievement;

generating, based on the updated value, a second prompt, the second prompt comprising a notification of a second reward associated with the defined achievement; and

providing the second prompt within the first game.

6. A system for dynamic game deployment allowing an organization to deploy games across multiple users, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device, coupled to the memory, to;

provide multiple games including at least a first game and a second game from a gamification engine of a game server over a network to a first user operating a user device, the first game including an interactive challenge encouraging the first user to achieve at least one objective and the second game including another interactive challenge encourage the first user to achieve a second objective;

receive one or more first interactions from the first user with respect to the first game and one or more second interactions from the first user with respect to the second game, the one or more first and second interactions occurring through manipulation of a selectable control provided on a user interface, wherein manipulation of the selectable control relays the one or more first and second interactions to the game server over the network;

analyze, using the processing device, the first interactions and the second interactions to identify one or more tendencies associated with the first user;

identify one or more services of interest to the first user based on the identified tendencies;

process the one or more first interactions and the one or more second interactions to compute a value associated with a defined achievement related to the one or more services, the computed value representing an expected value to the organization of the first user accepting the one or more services;

generate, based on the value computed as a result of the one or more first and second interactions, a first prompt, the first prompt comprising a notification of a first reward resulting from the first or second interactions and offering the one or more services, the first prompt including a link allowing the first user to navigate over the network to a page including details regarding the first reward and the one or more services; and

provide the first prompt within the first game or the second game over the network to the first user.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the processing device is further to:

receive one or more interactions from a second user;

process the one or more interactions from the second user to determine a degree of achievement of the second user with respect to the defined achievement;

generate, based on the degree of achievement of the second user, a second prompt, the second prompt comprising a notification of the degree of achievement of the second user in relation to the first game; and

provide the second prompt to the first user within the first game.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein to receive one or more interactions from a second user is to receive one or more interactions from a second user with respect to the first game.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein to receive one or more interactions from a second user is to receive one or more interactions from a second user with respect to the second game.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the processing device is further to:

receive one or more second interactions from the first user with respect to the first game;

process the one or more second interactions to compute an updated value associated with a defined achievement;

generate, based on the updated value, a second prompt, the second prompt comprising a notification of a second reward associated with the defined achievement; and

provide the second prompt within the first game.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for dynamic game deployment allowing an organization to deploy games across multiple users comprising:

providing multiple games including at least a first game and a second game from a gamification engine of a game server over a network to a first user operating a user device, the first game including an interactive challenge encouraging the first user to achieve at least one objective and the second game including another interactive challenge encouraging the first user to achieve a second objective;
