Points, Badges, Levels
Students earn points, badges
and levels for completing
missions
9. Player Types
❖ Achievers!
❖ Students earn points and scale levels for completing missions, and the
prestige of reaching the highest level possible in the game is motivating for
Achievers!
❖ Explorers!
❖ Students earn a badge for completing an epic ( a group of missions ), and
students with explorer mindset would work hard to discover all the badges
in the game!
❖ Killers!
❖ Students with Killer game mindset would compete with each other and
measure their progress on the leaderboards.
