Obviously reaching this level of profesionalism requires clear business and learning objectives, budget, time, resources... --------------------------------- PlantVille is a multimedia experience developed as an “engaging and informative plant simulation that puts you right in the shoes of the plant manager. Plantville gives players the chance to face the challenge of maintaining the operation of their plant while trying to improve the productivity, efficiency, sustainability, and overall health of their facility. Throughout the game, players will be able to interact with Pete the Plant Manager, whose plant has just won the “Plant of the Year” award. Pete shares his best practices throughout the game to help players achieve outstanding results in plant performance. He will use webisodes, the Plantville Cafe (a fun and educational platform that offers periodic online chat sessions with Pete on topics like process control, energy efficiency, industrial networking and more), Puzzlers (brain teasers that test a gamer’s problem solving abilities and provide tips to enhance their play), and Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts to dialogue with gamers, provide hints to playing the game, and host a leader board for contestants. In Plantville, players can select which of the three virtual plants they would like to manage first: a bottling plant, a vitamin plant, or a plant that builds trains. At the start of the game, each type of plant is faced with different challenges. The players must identify the challenges facing their plant and implement solutions to improve the plant’s KPIs. Gamers will compete with one another on a number of levels, including plant-to-plant and on specific KPIs. Pete’s leader board will keep track of which players are performing the best on each of the levels.
