Gamification: When inspiring citizen engagement in Singapore is all fun and games
June, 12, 2025
Summary
Singapore’s government is embracing gamification to boost civic engagement and community participation. Through platforms like CrowdTaskSG, initiatives such as the SG Youth Plan Quest and Great Budget Meal Hunt incentivize citizen input via surveys, tasks, and games, rewarding users with virtual coins, XP, and prizes. These efforts turn policymaking into interactive experiences, encouraging youth feedback, crowdsourcing affordable meals, and promoting physical activity through “phygital” walking trails. Other agencies, like the Health Promotion Board, use gamified apps like Healthy 365 and LumiHealth to promote wellness. This trend reflects a broader global movement where governments use gamification to make civic duties more engaging and impactful.
