Beyond the Medieval Bible Problem: How to Create Re-usable Gamification 

Tackling a multitude of contexts using game principles, we tend to create unique tailor-made solutions, like handwritten medieval bibles. If our solution also involves technology, we often face massive challenges in scaling up a solution, bringing solutions to market and financing these. In this talk we will explore these pitfalls but especially the necessity for the quest for reusable components or templates and our recent research and design outcomes in this line of thinking.
