HostGator, a multinational website hosting and services for online presence, is launching a gamified educational journey on the technological market, exclusively for desktop browsers. The star and name of the mini game is the blue and yellow alligator, Snappy, the brand's mascot.
Friendly, attentive, creative and curious, Snappy starts his adventure in Offline City with the mission of leaving the city online, however, along the way there are countless challenges that need to be overcome. According to each phase of the interactive campaign, Snappy is faced with enemies like Atrasildo, who wants to make his site mega-slow, and also with the presence of malware and hackers that can hinder and much of the objective of the journey.
As with digital games, information about building HostGator websites appears at the end of each stage as a reward for the player. Snappy's proposal is to share knowledge in a playful way about the basic steps of hosting websites, covering from the beginning to the end of the creation process.
In addition, Snappy introduces the concept of gamification, that is, it uses elements similar to the countless existing online games to deliver more interactivity and expand the absorption of knowledge from users. However, the intention of the educational journey proposed by HostGator is to go beyond a simple game. As people progress through each stage of the game, they accumulate scores and rewards that are converted into lessons on creating websites and tips for safe hosting.
“We want to encourage people to seek education and knowledge about creating websites and the safest and most efficient way of hosting. Digitizing businesses of all sizes became a necessity and a challenge during the pandemic and we believe that HostGator, as a leader in technology and website creation, is able to assist in this process. Snappy is a fun and easy way to learn, ”says Ricardo Melo. To start the educational journey, simply access: www.hostgator.com.br/aventurahostgator.
