Play’in – Learn, play, and connect with PSA

The Project

The Play’in app, available on iOS and Android, is a gamification app for all PSA Group employees and customers.

This serious game app allows customers to engage more closely with the brand through games, helping them learn more about the PSA Group while competing for prizes.

Users can check the live leaderboard and enjoy new daily questions to earn points and climb the rankings.

Problem

PSA wanted to increase engagement with employees and customers, but traditional communication channels lacked interactivity. The challenge was to design a fun, gamified way to connect users with the brand while helping them learn more about it.

Research

  • Defined personas (employees & customers) to capture expectations.
  • Studied user motivations around gamification and rewards.
  • Analyzed best practices for serious games to drive retention.

Solution

  • Designed Play’in, a mobile gamification app with daily quizzes, rankings, and prizes.
  • Created wireframes, mockups, and prototypes for both the app and back-office.
  • Guided UX for gamification mechanics to ensure engagement and replayability.

Outcome

  • Successfully launched in Spain in 2018, then expanded internationally.
  • Increased brand engagement through interactive learning and rewards.
  • Delivered a scalable app for employees and clients worldwide.
