Watch our quick introduction into interactive education games and interactive training videos, before exploring some of our examples!
Adding interactivity into your education videos is a sure-fire way to skyrocket engagement and boost memory recall.
When tested against traditional e-learning methods, interactive elearning videos significantly improve long term results, with participants able to learn remotely, at their own pace and actively participate in the learning.
Don’t take just our word for it though, discover some of the campaigns that have been proven to be super successful. Crew Room used interactive training videos to help teach young people the foundation of each role within the TV industry. They use interactive quizzes, education mini games, and many more features for their interactive education course. Each video covers one role, and the viewers can learn about responsibilities, meet someone in that role, or take a quiz.
When training their staff on housing and land rights, IOM put their participants into an interactive scenario training “Game”. The viewer is given the task to research three potential locations to accommodate a recent influx of migrants. Based on how they research and what evidence they find, their decision may positively or negatively impact the migrants. This is a great way of using interactive training videos to put the viewer in the shoes of someone in the role!

When training a network of agency leaders on the importance of collective accountability, the UN gave their team ‘scenarios’ for different emergencies in their interactive e-learning course. Each scenario had an impactful introduction, establishing the emergency, before then putting the viewer in the shoes of the emergency response team. They used games for each scenario to help the user learn how to incorporate ‘collective accountability’.
Big Green Egg set out on a mission to educate their resellers on everything they needed to know about the egg so they can more effectively sell it. They use interactive quizzes, memory games and get the users to choose their own delicious recipe to cook!
Sint Maarten’s Audit Chamber wanted to educate it’s constituents on how their tax money is spent. Recognising it’s not the most exciting subject matter, they created a really fun gamified world, where users are encouraged to collect ‘badges’ by taking mini quizzes and games relating to travel, procurement, citizens rights, audits and more!
E-learning Games Examples:
Incorporating minigames into your elearning can really help not just engage users but help them to retain the information by utilising visual learning, tactile learning, as well as auditory and text based. Check out our examples.
Mix-and-Match
In this game, the viewer has met 5 migrants and has to work out which human rights are at risk. Then, they have to align the risks with the relevant rights. It’s a great way of re-enforcing learning after meeting the migrants case files.

Quizzes
In this game, viewers had to identify which chefs had used the Big Green Egg. This format can be applied to any subject and has multiple quiz formats – whether it’s a mix-and-match question, or multiple choice.
Simulator Game
In this game, viewers were learning about how NetApp's cloud services could impact the work of Porsche’s formula-e team. To re-enforce this message in a fun way, viewers were challenged to play the ‘simulator’ game – much like ‘guitar hero’, viewers have to click at the perfect time to drive safely!
Match the sound
Check out this example of an in-video game created by Crew Room. Their users have to match up the correct sound with the visual.
Line up the shot
Here, viewers were learning about life as a camera operator, and were challenged to get the perfect framing of their shot. This can also be applied to anything that teaches accuracy and precision.
Build the Egg
This game is inspired by the simple ‘Simon says’ game of childhood: you are told an order to put together the Big Green Egg, and you have to remember that order as you rebuild it.
