Welcome to the Whack-A-Mole game demo.

This learning game was created using the Genie content authoring tool. Just like magic, Genie empowers you to create high-impact, mobile-ready and super engaging learning content quicker than ever before. Better still, no technical expertise is required.

Simply add your content, construct your learning experience and select your template with a single click. When you’re ready, you can export your learning game or microunit as a SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI or cmi5 file.

Immersive learning games combine gameplay and learning within the same environment. By engaging with the game environment, users can trigger learning events and activities. In this sense, gameplay and learning content are intrinsically linked. This approach has two key benefits:

• If you can create a deeply satisfying immersive experience, then learners will need to master your training content to ensure they can make progress in the game.
• Furthermore, you can tie your learning content to in game concepts to drive information home and improve knowledge retention.

As such, immersive games are best used when content creators can find a way to tie their learning objectives to in game events. The result is a fun-fuelled cohesive learning experience that can help to facilitate behaviour change and performance improvements.

Whack, wallop and thump your way to glory, with Whack Em' All, our learning-focused take on the classic arcade game. The objective is simple. You’ll need to tap on as many nodes as you can as they pop up.

But you can’t just blindly lash out in a whacking frenzy! You’ll lose points for tapping on the wrong node, so whack with care! This game is a test of reflexes and accuracy. Are you ready to tap your way to the top?

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.

Now you know the theory behind the game, the fun can begin. Tap ‘Continue’ to take Total Recall for a spin.
