This talk will explore how you can use gamification and social incentives to get more players out exercising together in the real world! Using Run To My Heart as an example, we will explore how game design and addictive core loops can inspire real healthy habits and social belonging. In a world where mental health and physical health is on the decline, it is more important than ever to create games that address these together.

Speaker: Jenny Xu (Talofa Games)
