Team games are a game type that focus purely on the dynamic of working as a team, be that to cooperate to reach a goal as a unit or to compete against other teams in games to see who comes out on top. Performance in these types of games is measured on a team level meaning players are incentivized to prop their peers up to contribute to the team as much as they can in order to achieve victory, either the whole team wins or the whole team loses.

The introduction of gamification elements to everyday workflow can be used to combat these issues, by providing workers with a clear goal that accurately reflects what is expected of them and a mechanism for them to track this goal while competing with their peers. At the same time, this challenge can bring a new level of variance to the work day that reinvigorates people’s morale and motivation to work.

While it is possible for these types of games to resolve these problems, it depends on both the challenge type that is chosen to be paired with them and on how the teams are built and their synergy,«. It is very likely that team games solve these problems but as a precaution it is important to note that the previous factors heavily influence the effectiveness of team games.

It is possible that this solution helps with this problem, although it is not what it was designed to solve so we cannot guarantee direct results from using it.
