2. Spinify

Spinify works by gamifying the sales process and providing incentives to sales teams for reaching and exceeding goals. Spinify leader boards launch on any TV or monitor providing real time visibility to team member positioning.

This platform encourages sales team members to work harder to achieve goals, and allows the employer to reward team members with prizes. Rather than a game or rewards platform, Spinify focuses on awarding points, badges and levels as a way of encouraging competition around company goals. In the event environment, using Spinify serves to create friendly competition among your exhibiting team members encouraging them to engage more and drive deeper conversations.

Drimify offers a collection of digital games that can be customized with company branding and launched virtually anywhere: on tv’s and monitors, websites, via URL and by QR code scanning. A collection of 20 games includes quizzes, polls, tests, instant win games like spin the wheel and slot machine, and entertaining games like Pac Man, Memory Cards and Word Search all work to create memorable experiences for event attendees and corporate teams. Pricing is straightforward, however features like leaderboards, access to VIP support, duplicating games and some customization features all come at an additional cost that must be negotiated under their Premium Plan.

4. LumoPlay

LumoPlay incorporates a combination of required hardware elements and apps to create interactive touch screen experiences from any display. A fun way to build engagement, LumoPlay has been used to increase interaction with museum exhibits, playground areas, public exhibits, and more. Users select from a suite of 18 licensable apps to create environments that can be manipulated by human touch, footsteps, objects like balls and bats, hand motions and more. Event exhibits can be made immersive with LumoPlay, however app selection seems to be limited to games that entertain with little to no educational value, and setup requires a hardware kit, which represents significant effort to set up – especially in the case of portable / temporary booth environments.
