Inspire campaign

Gamefication of Wikipedia's Promotion

The idea is to create an multiplataform "gaming" app (maybe even for non portable devices) where users "compete" with each other to earn points. The points aer earned somehow trough making people visit wikipedia's site or use it's app, and even more if the person register him/herself as a user. So, the whole idea is an app that brings more and more people into the "game"and estimulates them to join the comunity and colaborate with the cause.

Every language

In what ways does this group communicate with each other?

This can include services and apps in social media, mailing lists, physical spaces like conferences or lectures, or at specific institutions like at a library.
Via facebook, whatsapp, telegram, and other social networks

What are some reasons this group would use Wikipedia? How would they benefit from it, or what would they find useful?

Think about what they would be interested in reading and learning about; does Wikipedia provide better access to information this group cares about?
They would use wikipedia, initialy to earn points inside the game, and after because they would be aware of it's existence.

Describe your idea to engage new readers. How might it be implemented? What will you tell people about Wikipedia?

Think about the steps that might involved to make this idea happen, and what you might teach people about your experience or others' experiences using Wikipedia.
This project should be made by voluntary programmers and designers and have to run on a server, probably wikimedia's server. And should have a gaming appeal in order to get more people engaged.

How will you know if this project is successful? What are some outcomes that you can share after the project is completed?

If you’re not certain about how to respond to this question when starting your idea, you do not need to answer it right now. Campaign participants and Wikimedia Foundation staff can help you consider some options.
Simply increasing the number of users of the in the app, and consequnetly the increasing of visits in wikipedia per region.

Do you think you can implement this idea? What support do you need?

Do you need people with specific skills or resources to complete this idea? Are there any financial needs for this project? Do you need advising from Wikimedia Foundation staff?
I can be voluntary in the gaming design aspects, along with other people from the indie game development scene
