Sketch Your Game: Visual Tools to Design Engagement, Flow, and Player Motivation
This session shows how visual thinking can be used as a practical design tool for building engagement, flow, and motivation into gamified learning. Led by Tim Hamons, participants learn how to sketch ideas quickly to clarify player goals, surface assumptions, and make learning journeys visible before anything is built.
Through hands-on activities, participants use simple visuals to storyboard experiences, prototype mechanics, and test alignment between challenge, reward, and motivation. The session also introduces visual listening techniques that help capture learner insight and turn it into usable design decisions. No artistic skill is required, only a willingness to think with your hands.
Takeaway: If you can sketch it, you can design it and improve it faster.
