# Let’s game it out – The art of turning a boring task into fun for everyone


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 14:10–14:40 (30 min)
- **Room:** Airstream (120)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Have you ever found yourself facing a monotonous task? I certainly have! Imagine spending an entire week going through 70,000 database entries to generate test data, only to be faced with the mind-numbing task of manually labelling thousands of images afterwards. 

Being driven by making the task more enjoyable, I created a virtual city where my co-workers could interact and compete in constructing houses. This city building game resulted in more diversified data, more fun for my colleagues, and aiding in the presentation of my current work to the entire department.
In this inspirational talk, I share my key insights about the most essential aspects of game design to create an engaging and fun experience. I show you how to create curiosity, ignite competition and harness cooperation in a group of 30 people to label 2,500 images in 25 minutes.

By the end, you'll be equipped with the resources to bring your own gamification to life in a surprisingly short amount of time.
