Audi GameChanger Event – The national training on the Audi A3 required some new ideas. How to engage trainees in a full day of training, but make the event fun and interactive? Jack spent his share of childhood sickdays watching game shows on TV. Working with his client, the event was transformed into a fun team competition with the Match Game, Jeopardy, the Dating Game, Family Feud and large-format props. Here’s what Audi thought.

Kia Cash Bash - In this national sales incentive event operated by Kia Motors America at AT&T Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, top sales managers were awarded “pulls” based on the number of cars sold by his team during a qualification period. Sales managers interacted with over 200 iPad Minis on the football field in multiple, real-time games. After the event, pulls were redeemed for cash. Total of $2m awarded, tracked and fulfilled in a creative gaming production powered by Jack Cardinal’s Fantasy Pullboard System.

Zora Classroom - is a feature-rich software platform that enables deployment of remotely-controlled, gamified training classrooms on a huge number of iPads. Through a proprietary sync engine, each iPad instantly syncs data in real time with other classroom iPads, so every iPad shows the exact same content at the exact same time. Facilitators of multiple, concurrent training sessions can push out slides, video, interactive exercises, quizzes, polls, competitions, scoreboards, and leaderboards. The result is an engaging training experience that surprises and delights trainees, increases retention of training curriculum. Zora Classroom has powered national events for: Acura, Audi, FM Global, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Volvo. It has served thousands of users in nearly every major US city.

iPad Wall - What can you do with 30 iPads all remotely controlled with instantly syncing content? Originally conceived and deployed for a Mercedes-Benz national training tour, the iPad wall then took on a creative life of it’s own. It all started with a dream in the middle of the night a couple days before a pitch. It ended up winning the client $millions in business.

FM Global Giant Role Playing Escape Room - The room was designed and deployed for a session in the FMGlobal World Conference in 2012. FMGlobal is one of the largest business insurance providers in the world. Each day of the conference 300 users were organized into and directed entirely by their iPad through a 90-minute escape challenge. The iPads, remotely controlled in real time by the session emcee, synced with an onstage dramatic presentation involving a diabolical plot for world destruction by Dr. Evil. The session presented a program of multiple games. Each game yielded clues and information. The software organized the room into 25 teams. Teams had to gather information from multiple people via collaboration. Users were automatically rotated by their iPads through multiple groups of people during the 90-minute experience so that eventually everyone in the room had contact with everyone else.  The challenge built to a final, sudden-death competition which yielded one real time winning team gathering all the right information to defeat Dr. Evil. The session was repeated daily for 10 days and was eventually attended by all 3000 participants of the conference.

The response to the session was overwhelmingly positive. By no other practical means could 300 people be organized and rotated through so many people so efficiently within the time period. Users raved about the magical technology which remotely controlled their iPads and loved the interaction. It was the highest rated session of the entire conference.
