Explore the art of gamification in your learning modules in a simple yet effective way. 


With ten versatile game templates to choose from, The Training Arcade® allows you to quickly turn your content into a dynamic learning game in just minutes. Whether you want to transform a slide deck into an engaging activity or create a game to meet specific training objectives, our platform makes it simple to connect with your audience and reinforce key messages.

Easy to Build Training Games

Employee training is expensive and, often, the return on investment (ROI) doesn’t exist. The Association for Talent Development (ATD) estimates that companies spend an average of $1,273 per year per employee on training. However, without “practical follow-up or meaningful assessments,” learners lose 90% of the skills they learn in those training programs. That’s a lot of money to throw out the window.

Gamified training engages learners, increases attention, improves confidence, and, ultimately, drives success. The Training Arcade helps trainers gamify their training quickly and easily with a tool that’s easy to use and doesn’t break the budget. 

 

Game Templates in The Training Arcade

When we say no coding is required, we mean it. Creating a gamified learning experience is as simple as copying and pasting or typing your content directly into one of our ten game templates.

In fact, the most time-intensive part of the process is preparing your content. Once that’s ready, building a game—like a JEOPARDY!® game with thirteen clues—takes about fifteen minutes. That’s all it takes to go from a list of questions in a Word document to a fully functional, interactive learning game.

Sharing your game is just as easy. Once created, a unique URL is automatically generated for your game, making it simple to share with learners. You can also SCORM-wrap the game for your LMS or embed it directly into your website or other platforms.

There’s no need to download or install anything. The Training Arcade® works entirely online. All you and your learners need is a web-connected device, and you’re ready to dive into engaging gamified learning.

 

Watch Your Content Come to Life

Let’s explore some “before and after” examples from The Training Arcade®. We’ll show you how your clues or training materials look during the game creation process and how they’re transformed into an engaging experience for the player.

Below is a JEOPARDY!® game board created on the admin side of The Training Arcade:

The output is truly amazing! You could easily add more categories (columns) or clues (rows) with just the push of a button. Remove rows and columns just as easily. 

Here’s what a finished clue looks like to the admin:

And here’s what that same clue looks like to the player:

Then, possible answers are shown – they picked the correct answer! – and feedback is given to the player instantly before returning them to the board to continue the game.

Voila! With no coding or crazy computer magic, you can write in or copy and paste your training material into a game template that looks, feels, and plays just like the TV show so many people are familiar with.
