ABSTRACT

 

With more than 1.5 billion gamers around the world as of the end of 2015, with further growth projected as mobile devices achieve greater market penetration, there has been a great deal of interest in using games for purposes beyond entertainment. However, gamification and serious games often fail to engage prospective users, generate commercial interest, or meet long­term objectives, due to mismatched expectations, failures in communication, and lack of understanding of design. Future success requires the development of a common framework to facilitate inter­professional collaboration, with this paper proposing the use of Seligman’s Well­Being Theory as the basis for such a framework.
