1. TEAM UP & CRUSH
COVID-19
OCTALYSIS PRIME
DESIGN CHALLENGE
June 2020 [Deadline August 16]

2. WHY WE OFFER CHALLENGES IN OCTALYSIS PRIME
The OP Design Challenges provide opportunity for OP Members to put their Octalysis skills into practice.
Watching the videos and interacting with other members and the OP Team on Slack is a good start, but
applying your knowledge is what truly takes you to the next level.
This Challenge will focus on collaboration to try and find a way to implement the best measures to help
stop the spread of COVID-19 in different cultures.
June 2020 [Deadline August 16]

3. INTRODUCTION
As COVID-19 sweeps around the globe, countries have taken their own approach to deal with this
emergency scenario. There are different levels of success in different areas like: fatalities, economic
impact, and psychological well-being.
We all hoped that, after overcoming a short period of crisis, things would go back to normal again.
Unfortunately we have to face the reality that COVID-19 will be with us for a long time to come.
We have to find a way to keep our countries and the world running as healthily and efficiently as possible.
As Octalysis Primers we study gamification, to be a good force in the world by getting people engaged
and motivated. The COVID-19 Collaboration Council* has issued a challenge to find a way to successfully
implement the best measures in all countries.
* The CCC was originally founded to prevent Geomon from getting ill.
They, amongst others, issued the COVID Cleaner and COVID Crusher.

5. ASSIGNMENT
Ideally every culture would be taken into account when making Player Types. However, it is tricky to make
assumptions about a culture you are not personally familiar with. To still get a sense of how different
cultures are motivated differently, you will work in a team of two Primers from two different countries.
1. Each of you will make a Player Type analysis for your own country with an Octalysis graph of the
main Player Type for your country. Emphasize the things that are true for most people in your
country.
2. Each of you will make an Analysis of the Current Experience of how your country informs the public
and steers their behavior concerning COVID-19.
3. Different countries need different approaches. Take 2 of the better practices* from each country and
brainstorm on how to implement these in the other country. Take the main Player Type of that
country into account.
* Think of fields like: schools, informing the public, going outside, what to
do when you suspect you have COVID-19, grocery shopping, work, etc.
