Why Power Apps is ideal for on-brand games and learning experiences

If you’ve heard of Power Apps, chances are you think of it as a practical, functional work tool. The platform allows you to create customised business applications, with popular options being inventory management, asset tracking solutions and customer service reports. But did you know that Power Apps can also provide a legitimate route for deploying fully branded quizzes, interactive games and micro eLearning experiences across an organisation, handy when other delivery methods aren’t possible.

These small but mighty experiences can be designed to drop neatly into everyday working life, giving your people something interesting to click on that isn’t yet another spreadsheet.

Engage your employees where they already are

Due to Power Apps sitting so comfortably inside Microsoft Teams, there’s no need for employees to download new software or remember a URL. Everything is based directly within the space they already use, meaning the experience becomes part of their natural rhythm. Whether your workforce is local, national or global, it’s a highly effective way to roll out compelling games, quizzes and eLearning solutions quickly and consistently.

Brand alignment is at the core of the platform

One of the biggest advantages of using Power Apps for games and eLearning tools is complete control over their design. You’re not stuck with generic templates or quirky fonts that refuse to match your brand guidelines. Colours, typography, illustrations and tone of voice can all be crafted to feel like an extension of your internal comms. From onboarding tools and refresher courses to cybersecurity awareness or just a fun game for staff to enjoy, you can rest assured it will be on brand from start to finish.

Turn training into an interactive experience

Learning and training don’t have to feel like assembling flat-pack furniture without the manual. Power Apps makes it easy to turn important messages into interactive and memorable moments through branching journeys, timed challenges, scoreboards, animations, playful rewards, and more.

Imagine an escape room style of puzzle that focuses on health and safety, a decision-making scenario based on company values, or perhaps a product knowledge challenge with fun characters and an exciting storyline. All of this is delivered in small and manageable bursts, which your people can fit into their day without blocking out valuable time.

A flexible tool for any department

From HR and training to internal comms and inspirational sales kick-offs, Power Apps offers a versatile foundation for any type of eLearning or engagement.
