Turning work into play
The partnership introduces a new Blink gamification framework — designed to help large enterprises boost engagement, motivation, and learning across distributed teams.
The first product of the collaboration, Blink Bonanza, is a live playable game experience that showcases how fast, fun, and habit-forming interactions can drive adoption with your employee experience platform and meaningful engagement. The game, unveiled at the Blink stand at Workday Rising EMEA, will soon be available to play on Blink’s website.
“Work is changing — and so are the people doing it,” said Lauren Burns, chief operating officer at Blink. “For younger generations, play isn’t a distraction; it’s a key way they learn, connect, and stay engaged. Together with Livewall, we’re harnessing that instinct to make frontline work more motivating and rewarding — while powering better operations across the workforce.”
Gamification that drives performance
Rooted in behavioral science, the Blink × Livewall partnership brings proven game mechanics — from competition and achievement systems to progress tracking and peer recognition — into the flow of everyday work.
“Gamification isn’t fluff — it’s neuroscience,” said Brock de Wolde, product strategy lead at Livewall. “The same dopamine feedback loops that keep us playing games can also reinforce the right workplace behaviors. Blink’s platform allows us to apply that science at scale.”
McDonald’s, who pride themselves on their service, was able to reimagine engagement with a game that was adopted by 90,000 employees and played an average of 6.5 times per gamer. This activation allowed them to deliver change in a fresh, engaging way — and build hype around their workforce.
Next up: "The science of gamification" webinar
Blink and Livewall will co-host a live webinar, “The power of play: Engaging the next generation of workers,” on December 3, 2025. The session will explore the neuroscience and strategy behind gamification and feature guest insights from McDonald’s.
