There are a number of Game software sites about (http://gamesalad.com/, https://www.yoyogames.com/studio). Which ones have you had experience of using? Good or bad experiences can be usefully shared! In particular which ones easily allow rich interaction with the real world, ie. include tools to help incentive actions such as reading a paper or book chapter (or at least finding a copy and taking its photo or scanning its barcode)
I've been very happy with habitRPG (https://habitrpg.com/static/front) - it has been very useful in following my own progress through eg. course work, Master's thesis writing etc. It's meant for gamifying everyday habits such as chores and daily exercise, but I've mostly used it for school work and I think it could be used even in teaching with common questlines designed by the teacher. It does need a bit of setting up in the beginning: it doesn't do the thinking for you, but the program is easy to use and customize once you get the hang of what you want gamified.
Gary- I agree with previous posts that gamification sites are typically specific to certain aspects, e.g. health like nike's health band. I tried habitrpg and did not really like it, the system did not have meaning for me. Recently I went to leaderboard.com, they have a leaderboard for connected gamification enthusiasts. I have only recently started using the site, but what I like is that it forces me to setup technological sites which I can they begin to use to establish a gamification knowledge tree which will be observed on the leaderboard.com. In other words, the system has meaning to me because I am engaging in a system that helps me learn new media technologies, I am driven to obtain and produce gamification material, and I am in a social community (of sorts) with other gamification people who I can investigate and observe. Hope this helps

https://kahoot.com/ is being used a lot in Spain.
Very simple and clear.
Yes lots of people use Kahoot as quiz software but that was all it was last time I looked it could not capture real life action.
