The platform
PlayForward is an interactive platform that transforms digital training into action. Employees learn by doing, practicing with realistic scenarios and applying new knowledge directly to their work.

PlayForward transforms learning into action: participants are actively challenged to make choices, solve problems, and experiment in real-life scenarios. Active learning ensures a greater impact than passive content consumption.

FAQ
Everything you want to know about PlayForward, clearly organized in one place
What is PlayForward?
PlayForward is a gamified learning platform that helps individuals build real skills by playing short, engaging games. Instead of long training sessions or passive content, learners jump directly into practical scenarios where they learn by doing — at their own pace, in sessions that fit into a busy workday.
What makes PlayForward different from traditional training or e-learning?
PlayForward focuses on active learning rather than content consumption. Learners solve challenges, make decisions, and see immediate results. This makes learning more engaging, easier to remember, and simpler to apply at work — without it feeling like a course or an exam.
Which topics can PlayForward cover?
PlayForward offers a growing library of games on topics such as AI & Copilot, digital skills, ways of working, and other complex or rapidly changing themes. New games are added regularly, and organizations can choose the games that best align with their goals.
How long does a PlayForward game take?
Most PlayForward games are designed to be played in short sessions, typically between 5 and 20 minutes. This makes them easy to integrate into the workday — whether someone plays a single game or combines several into a learning path. Live PlayForward experiences, such as the Copilot Escape Game, last up to 2 hours.
How do organizations roll out PlayForward to their teams?
PlayForward games are production-ready and pre-tested before rollout. Organizations can choose to launch all games at once or gradually make more games available. The PlayForward team supports company admins during the onboarding phase.
Can I track whether people are playing the games?
Progress and engagement can be monitored by the company admin, providing easy insight into what is working and where the largest knowledge gaps lie. Admins can also track user scores and their development.
Can I track my own scores?
Users can view their own score after completing a game or on the game overview page. Admins can view all user scores and their development via the admin dashboard.
