It is more than entertainment, although games need to be fun. Games lead to deeper engagement, and that brings better retention and changes in behavior.

Turn learning into a habit, and your learners will be with you for life. Many of us are used to thinking of learning as something that happens once. We take a course, we read a book, we attend a seminar, and at the end of it, we’ve learned something! But the reality of learning is that it rarely happens this way. We might read something in a book, but it doesn’t “click” until we put it to practice.
