Glad they were able to frame a scary experience as a voluntary adventure. Gamification has great potential for solving motivational problems.

I see opportunities for gamification quite often. If we took any tedious or daunting task and broke it down into a fun, easy, and simple problem for everyone, society in general would benefit from a harvesting a lot of wasted productivity.
