THE CHALLENGE
Engagement products fail in a predictable way. People join, play once, and never return. Points accumulate toward something that doesn't feel worth reaching. Results appear after the fact with no sense of contest.
For an Arabic-speaking audience, most gamification tooling assumes English and treats Arabic as a translation, which produces something that works but doesn't feel native.
THE APPROACH
How we approached it
Competition as the core mechanic, with real rewards rather than points that lead nowhere.
Results pages carry detailed leaderboards so standing is visible and specific — position against others, not just a personal score. Dynamic sliders with animated imagery and interactive elements give the interface motion, so the product feels live rather than like a form with a scoreboard attached.
Arabic-default and bilingual throughout, with the Arabic experience treated as primary rather than derived.
