Weekly Gameplay Insights – The Happening

Happening is an app where you can create groups and add functionalities. For example split the bill between you and your friends or a date picker. I created a Playful Learning group but we did not split the bill, we did some photo hunts! In these hunts you get an assignment, take a photo of you kissing someone. First hunter gets 10 points, if you’re second you can win 2 more points. The idea of the game is fun, but the fun feeling did not last for the whole weekend. You can cheat very easily, if you update a picture you automatically win, even if you didn’t live up to the requirements. Conclusion, it was nice for the friday afternoon and we did not take things seriously but we send each other some funny pictures.
