Goals Achieved

1. User Engagement
Players were strongly motivated by the extrinsic incentives (iPad,
job offer) and tended to complete all quests on finishing the
Bronze Quest.
Apart from establishing and maintaining engagement throughout
the recruitment process, Robo G also achieved its secondary goal of
informing and educating its users. The responses received for the
quiz and open-ended challenges were extensive.
2. Inform & Educate

Lessons Learnt

The simplicity of most of
the challenges proved a
low barrier to entry for
engagement and
participation.Coupled
with the attractive
rewards, this kept users
engaged as they played
through Robo G.
Some players dropped
off atWelcome Quest
due to the effort required
in certain challenges*,
which dampened their
interest
User Engagement
*E.g. taking a photo of themselves at an outlet.
This can be seen as a filter for applicants who lack enough interest in working for the telco
