GAME Platform

GAME (Goals And Motivation Engine) is an adaptive gamification engine that exposes APIs to manage games, tasks, wallets, and strategy-based scoring with deterministic and reproducible behavior.

GREENCROWD

GREENCROWD is an open-source, modular, and gamified citizen science platform for geospatial crowdsourcing. It integrates GAME to deliver adaptive incentives while preserving reproducible and deployment-ready data collection workflows.

GAME — Goals And Motivation Engine

A deterministic, pluggable incentive engine for adaptive gamification in citizen science and spatial crowdsourcing. Built for reproducibility and equity.

Research Methods

Spatial metrics (Getis-Ord Gi*), participation overlap (Jaccard), centroid shift analysis, and stress-tested reproducibility protocols.
