Amazon tries to make warehouse work more fun by turning real tasks into video games

Some of Amazon's warehouse workers don't have to choose between work and play with the introduction of company-created video games that turn tedious tasks into productive fun. A detailed report from The Washington Post describes how the company has installed screens at many of its warehouse workers' stations that allow employees to turn tasks like assembling orders and moving items into competitive games. Game titles include options like MissionRacer, Dragon Duel, and CastleCrafter and typically involve a productivity-based point system. The more tasks a worker completes, the more points or progress they make in the game. Amazon is using video games to help increase productivity and make working in its warehouses less tedious.
