noun \ˌgāmifəˈkāSHən \ : the use of game design elements in non-game contexts

As our beloved subscribers, we would love for you all to join us on our adventure. Now, it’s kind of impossible for us to take you all on the trip with us, so we’re adding a clever spin onto this blog for our subscribers by adding some game aspects to the blog. We would like YOU to be a part of the journey!

Let the Game Begin!

After coming back from our Mexican adventure we are already looking to go onto our next destination, but we have one problem — you haven’t told us where to go yet!

Through gamification we look to put our future in your hands, so place your vote on our website’s poll within the next week, and control where we travel to next! After the destination is decided we will be looking for some more input on where to go and what to do while there.

On top of having the ability to control where we go next we are also incorporating another gamification tactic by rewarding you for your vote by awarding you points that can be turned in for some cool stuff. Visit our Store Page to find out more.

What are the best things to do in the city you voted on? Leave a comment below and let us know!

#DoItForTheStory

Take Control

You may have noticed a poll system going on throughout the site; with that you can vote on things such as where you want us to go, how you want us to get there, who you want us to see, or what you want us to do. Anything travel related will be votable, so let us know what you want us to do; let your voice be heard!

We want to get as many eyes on this site as possible. Not because we care about traffic, but because: More Subscribers = More Gamification Options, More Options = Crazy Story, Crazy Story = What This Site Is All About!

More to come on the gamification front! Shoot us a quick email if you have any cool ideas on how to gamify our travels more!
