The initial situation

Originally, the Microsoft Questival was planned as an annual onsite event where employees came together at a real location to celebrate successes and inspire each other. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event had to be completely redesigned to reflect the new circumstances. The challenge was to create an engaging and motivating experience that brought employees together despite physical distancing.

The solution

The Questival team worked closely with Microsoft to develop a virtual event that was both entertaining and informative. The solution included:

  • Development of a gamified platform: We designed a user-friendly platform on which employees could participate in various challenges and quests.
  • Individually designed “quests”: Each quest included puzzles and tasks that allowed participants to test their knowledge and gain new information at the same time.
  • Interactive online search: Employees were able to search for information related to the past year’s successes on a digital scavenger hunt.
  • Celebrating success: During the event, the company’s successes were recognized and the course was set for the new financial year. This took the form of virtual celebrations and interactive elements that motivated and bonded the participants.

Result

The Microsoft Questival was a resounding success and was recognized as award-worthy by the jury. The event achieved its goal of inspiring and motivating 2,000 employees by providing them with a unique combination of fun and learning. The innovative approach, which combined gamified elements with an online quest, not only encouraged engagement but also helped to develop a strong sense of community among participants.

  • Positive feedback: Participants praised the creative implementation and the opportunity to actively participate in the event despite the pandemic.
  • Increase in employee satisfaction: The positive atmosphere and interactive nature of the event helped to increase employee satisfaction and motivation.
  • Preparing for the future: The Microsoft Questival ensured that employees were well informed and inspired for the start of the new financial year.

Overall, the Microsoft Questival has shown that even under challenging circumstances it is possible to develop innovative and appealing solutions that strengthen the connection with employees and promote cohesion.
