And while games are typically whimsical and entertaining by nature, they\u2019re also often more complex to build than most players might realize. The following were our \u201crules,\u201d if you will, for building an interactive career pathways game for CSL:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Design an engaging and fun solution for a global, virtual audience (27,000 employees spanning the globe).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Motivate new hires and seasoned team members to visualize their future with CSL.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Connect the overall messaging\/approach to corporate strategy initiatives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Create a personalized learning journey that functions and lives well on multiple devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Ensure a one-player, asynchronous environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Collect key user data.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Limit play time to 10\u201415 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class='related-post'><a href='https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/blogs\/royal-caribbean-bar-simulator\/'><h5>Related<\/h5><p>Think outside of the Authoring Tool, with a Custom Software Simulation<\/p><svg width='38' height='34' viewBox='0 0 38 34' xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'><path d='M20.805 0l-.984 1.038 15.423 15.248H0v1.428h35.244L19.821 32.962 20.805 34 38 17z' fill='#BA774A' fill-rule='evenodd'><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winning with WordPress\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step was to identify the best platform to support our project needs. Considering the scope and expedited project timeline, we determined WordPress to be an optimal content management system for this custom gaming experience. Along with its cost effectiveness, especially when compared to Articulate Storyline or custom software, WordPress also offered design, implementation, and device flexibility and allowed for the collection of key analytics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How we did it\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the project, we mapped the pathways and decisions a player could make as they traveled through their career life cycle. This required really thorough exploration of roles and close collaboration with the CSL team.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a peek at what mapping the options looked like. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4410 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1-Logic-tree.png\" alt=\"A simplified look at the CSL logic tree paths we needed to map before jumping in.\" width=\"2059\" height=\"1719\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once we nailed down the paths and events along their journey, we designed characters, events, and player interactions. The final result: an inviting visual style, an experience that\u2019s intuitive on multiple devices, and an interaction that\u2019s inspiring and casts a positive vision for employee growth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Maestro developed the experience all outside of an authoring tool and on a platform that most people think is only for blogging or websites. We like to think of the experience as a learning game-changer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-Course-mock.png\" alt=\"Two smartphones displaying the CSL course &quot;Choose Your Own Promising FUTURES Adventure&quot;\" width=\"2059\" height=\"2121\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Want to go beyond your (authoring-tool) comfort zone?
