In the research for PSFK’s Future Of Gaming Report , our consulting team noticed that collaborative game environments are bringing communities of interest together around larger social, scientific and environmental challenges.

Mobile app rewards kids for keeping parents updated
There’s nothing like a tangible reward to encourage good behavior, and we’ve already seen one effort that puts that principle into practice to help kids learn. For parents however, perhaps even more important than their children’s education is their children’s safety, and that’s where I’mOK comes in, with a free mobile app that rewards kids for checking in.
Using video games to make seniors safer drivers
We’ve written about brain gyms for baby boomers and insurance discounts for drivers of cars with GPS devices . Combining a bit of both ideas, insurance provider Allstate recently announced a pilot program that could ultimately lead to reduced insurance rates for senior drivers who play brain-building video games.
We’ve written about several technology-enhanced games that aim to get kids to exercise; one we hadn’t seen, however, was an online game that strives to promote social change. Sure enough, though, Akoha is a new, reality-based game that uses mobile, web and real-world challenges to ask the question, “What if playing a game could make the world a better place?”
Online game focuses on real-world kindness
Most internet users have probably come across reCAPTCHA at some point or other in their online travels, notable because it not only helps distinguish human website visitors from computerized bots, but it also taps the human ones to help digitize books, newspapers and old radio shows. Operating on a similar principle, Finnish indexing effort Digitalkoot now offers a series of games by which players can help fix mistakes in the indexing of old Finnish newspapers. Digitalkoot is a joint project run by the National Library of Finland and distributed work platform Microtask that aims to index the library’s enormous archives so that they are searchable on the Internet.

We’ve already noted the rise of gaming as a way to create engagement among consumers, but we didn’t expect to see it applied so soon to something as seemingly mundane as public transport.
In London, public transport travel gets gamified
The gamification trend has been going strong in recent months, but until just recently we hadn’t seen it applied to recruiting. Sure enough, though, none other than hospitality giant Marriott International is now using a Facebook game to try to fill some 50,000 open jobs by the end of this year. At My Marriott Hotel on Facebook , gamers begin by managing a virtual hotel restaurant kitchen, including buying equipment and ingredients on a budget, hiring and training employees, and serving guests.
