How we workA small core team, with specialists per project
Remote-first from the start. We bring in freelance specialists in game development, UI and UX design, AI engineering and immersive tech, so each project gets the right people rather than whoever is on the bench.
Start with the person
We design for the goal your customer, user or colleague actually has. Business results follow from that, not the other way round.
Game psychology plus AI
Motivation comes from game thinking. Speed and reach come from AI. We do not sell one without the other.
Ethical by design
No dark patterns, no manipulating people into behaviour that only serves our metrics. That is written down in the Manifesto.

What it is like to work with us
We have been working with An and the Gamification Nation team for the past year and it has been a total pleasure to have her on the 5App team. An provides a refreshingly different perspective to our strategy work, adding value throughout the lifetime of the project. Her ideas and innovative approaches have informed and challenged our thinking in all the right ways.
Gill FroodHead of Marketing, 5app.com
As a work-based training company, we must motivate, engage and arm our clients with the skills they need to succeed in their careers. Previously that was not the case: we had a 3 out of 10 completion rate and it was evident our clients were not enjoying their journey with us. We started looking into gamification and approached Gamification Nation to help us improve our training material and system. We are delighted we made that decision. We now have a 9 out of 10 completion rate and our clients are enjoying the whole process through to the end. We highly recommend Gamification Nation.
