Fixed Action Rewards Games

F.A.R games are games that can only be played once a set of actions have been completed. In other words, by consuming all the associated learning content, users unlock the game itself. This approach has two key benefits:

  • Learners are incentivised to make progress through your content by the reward of new gameplay activity. Gated games act as a carrot for continued professional development.
  • Learning is kept separate from gameplay. This means learners can apply all their focus to the task at hand, rather than switching back and forth between activities.

As such, these games are perfect for content creators who have complex ideas or topics to explore. This is the way to go if you need your learners to apply deep focus to your content.

Gaining by Gaming

Learning games appeal to our natural desire for competition, collaboration and mastery. That’s why they work for learners of all ages and from all walks of life. They’ve also been shown to release feel-good chemicals that put you in the perfect headspace for learning.


Whether you’re using learning games as a reward for hard work, or to help drive focus, one thing’s clear: they should be a part of your training arsenal.

Fixed Action Reward games can only be played once:

  • a set of actions have been completed.
  • you've changed in to your gym kit.
  • your working day is done.
