Workforce engagement through gamification

About Arcade

Arcade is a cloud-based employee engagement platform which utilizes a range of gamification techniques to motivate employees, in addition to communication and collaboration tools including 1-on-1 and group chats, team huddles, activity tracking, social feeds, peer-to-peer recognition, surveys, and more. Native apps for Android and iOS, in addition to the web app, allow users to engage from any device at any time.

Arcade allows users to track whichever metrics matter to their business, with goals set for everyone on the team. Multiple game types are offered, with races rewarding the first employee to hit a target, tournaments to reward the first, second, and third place team members, and bounties which reward all players who achieve their target before time runs out. PowerHours reward any sales, or other target metrics, above a given threshold made within a specified hour. A Weekly Superstar Game also rewards the user who has been given the most Recognition Stars throughout the week. Tokens awarded in Arcade can be redeemed for real rewards through the rewards center, and employees can also receive badges, chests, and experience points (XP) for completing quests or winning challenges.

Users can communicate with one another through Arcade, with built-in 1-on-1 and group chat functionality, team huddles, social feeds, and announcements. Files can be uploaded and sent through chats, and content can be moderated by administrators. Custom surveys can be created to collect team feedback, and users can produce sales training and launch quizzes to test employee knowledge.


Key benefits of Arcade

  • More than 10 different game types are built into Arcade, and goals are set to motivate all users.

  • Employees can communicate through one-to-one and group chats, and send files to one another, with the ability for administrators to moderate content.

    Arcade Makes Work Even More Fun

    Reviewed on 2020/11/10

    Overall experience has been wonderful.

    Overall experience has been wonderful.

    Pros

    Arcade is used across the ranks of our company, and provides reps the opportunity to build an online community between our members who live in multiple locations throughout the province. Not only are reps able to share thoughts, photos, and accomplishments, but they are able to track their live sales metrics so they know where stand on a day-to-day basis.

    The games are easy to understand, and the software automatically updates the standings and leaderboards for the majority of events. For the ones that don't automatically update, the process is simple and easy for reps to update their totals.

    The reward system is easy, and the process is as simple as 1,2,3 for reps to get their chosen rewards.

    CUSTOMER CARE IS FANTASTIC! As someone who had a few issues getting an account up and running, I can say the customer service is phenomenal. They are easy to get in touch with, and follow-up with you throughout each inquiry, from start to finish.

    Cons

    The navigation could use a facelift as the android version does not react appropriately to the swipe gestures of my device.

    It takes some getting used to using the menus as opposed to your common "back" swipe/gesture, but overall I feel the app runs smoothly most of the time.

    We were very excited to onboard with Arcade and had built a lot of hype and excitement in the organization to be prepared for it, but it struggled to live up to those expectations from day one. Our operations/dev team had a hard time working with Arcades to get the custom metrics built and then struggled more when the reporting was way off. I never felt like there was focus on helping us overcome this and when I finally asked about cancellation our Customer Success rep created an email chain with their internal engineers to try and help us overcome these issues and there was no response at all. We decided to then cancel on our own and still have never heard back from Arcade so it was clear that our business model was too complex for this software and they decided not to engage with us at all when it mattered the most. Pretty disappointing from my seat but for basic sales teams with standard metrics, I am sure this would work just fine.

    Pros

    nice UI, decent game style options, concept is interesting and I can see it being effective for certain companies

    Cons

    difficulty working with more complex metrics and KPIs, limited to the style of games and uses, customer support is lacking

    I absolutely love this app because of the way we are able to interact and share. Arcade would not be the same without the fabulous reps. I hope all of your people are as gifted as she is. I am not a social media person but I really enjoy the features that Arcade offers such as the chats and multiple news feeds where I can share with my team or all teams. I like being able to donate to money to Toys for Tots and being able to share with my coworkers on occasion. My overall experience with Arcade has given me a much stronger bond and better friendships that I do not believe I would have had without your app. Rep IS THE BEST!!!

    Pros

    I think she is my favorite part of Arcade, she is always kind and patient with me when I have "stupid" questions. She has been so helpful teaching someone "technology challenged" learn how to use the app and all of its benefits. Other than that I absolutely love how it has brought together all of us employees from different stores. Of course earning money and the competition is great as well!

    Cons

    ???? I have nothing. I have had a glitch or two that were taken care of immediately so I truly have nothing!

    Its a all in one software for company chat, recognition and communications.

    Pros

    The platform allows for not only chat with anyone in the company but the newsfeed is one of the best features. It allows people to share with the entire company in one centralized place.

    Cons

    The apple app is very buggy and lags a lot. You cannot swipe right to go back which is very inconvenient during 1 handed operation. Also the lack of being able to post videos is a little disappointing.
