What we build

Six ways to make your brand playable

Every project starts from the number you want to move. Then we pick the format that moves it with the least friction for your customers.

  • Branded games and advergames

    Custom mini-games built around your products and characters, playable on web, iOS and Android. Ideal for launches, seasonal campaigns and replacing tired discount popups.

    Best for e-commerce, FMCG and retail

  • Loyalty and retention mechanics

    Points, streaks, levels, badges and leaderboards built into your app, store or membership program, so customers always have a reason to come back.

    Best for apps, subscriptions and loyalty programs

  • Prize campaigns and instant wins

    Campaigns with real prizes, instant-win moments and leaderboards that collect first-party data and drive repeat visits all season long.

    Best for seasonal promotions and launches

  • Live event and arcade activations

    Branded games on arcade cabinets, LED screens and kiosks that turn your stand into the busiest spot at the event.

    Best for trade shows, festivals and brand events

  • Training and onboarding games

    Serious games and AR and VR simulations that make product, onboarding and safety training engaging, measurable and actually finished.

    Best for HR, retail staff and industrial teams

  • Gamified apps and platforms

    Membership, community and creator platforms with progression, rewards and challenges designed into the core experience, not bolted on.

    Best for startups, communities and creators

Proven patterns for your market

The mechanics change with the audience. These are the formats we reach for first in each industry.

    Typical use: onboarding quests and daily rewards

  • HR, training and onboarding

    Quests, simulations and team leaderboards that make training stick, with AR and VR where hands-on practice matters.

    Typical use: product training and safety drills

The dopamine loop

Chasing a score and beating it is a reward static banners never deliver, especially with a real prize on the line.

The endowment effect

A discount people win feels more valuable than one they are handed, so they are far more likely to use it at checkout.

Social proof

Leaderboards and shared scores turn one visit into a reason to come back, compete and bring friends.

Gamification FAQ

What brands ask us first

Have a different question? Ask us directly, we reply within one business day.

What does a gamification agency do?

A gamification agency designs and builds game mechanics into products and marketing, such as branded games, points, levels, leaderboards and rewards, so customers stay longer, come back more often and buy more. SkangoGames combines game designers, artists and engineers, so strategy, design, development and analytics are handled by one team.

Does gamification really increase conversion?

When it is designed around a clear goal, yes. Prestige Flowers replaced a discount popup with our Catch the Bouquet game and saw a 47% conversion uplift among players, more than two extra minutes on site, five times higher brand recall than static display ads and an 89% return rate for leaderboard players.

Do we need an app, or can the game run on our website?

Both work. Web games run instantly in the browser with no download, which is ideal for campaigns and popups. Native iOS and Android apps make sense for loyalty programs and long-running games. We recommend whichever option removes the most friction for your audience.

How much does a gamification project cost?

It depends on scope. A focused campaign game costs far less than a full loyalty system inside an existing app. After a short call we send a proposal with a clear scope, timeline and price, so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work starts.

How long does a gamification project take?

Smaller campaign games can launch in a matter of weeks, while loyalty systems and multi-platform games take longer. We prototype early so you can play the core idea before full production, and we plan every launch around your campaign dates.

Can the game connect to Shopify, our app or our CRM?

Yes. We integrate games with Shopify and other e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, email and SMS tools, and analytics, so wins turn into discount codes, sign-ups and measurable revenue.
