The 2022 Christmas Compliance Challenge had a fantastic response, with hundreds of compliance and learning professionals competing. Players identified potential regulatory issues faced by Santa & Co in a challenge that contains some very serious compliance lessons for businesses.
We gathered over 6000 responses from participants, 77% answered correctly (4% less than in 2021), and so far 12% have achieved a perfect score. From analysing responses, we have noticed some worrying trends.
Mostly all of those getting questions wrong (19 out of 20%) were confident in their incorrect answers. This means that not only were they wrong - but they were also convinced they were right!
Some areas highlighted have greater risks at this time of year, making these of particular concern. Mirroring last year’s results, players still struggle to answer questions correctly about discrimination, social media, fraud, and health and safety. Worse still, these were also the areas where people were confidently incorrect. This raises red flags for some key training areas needed.
However, competition law, modern slavery and information security were areas where players received almost perfect results. So through games, it is also possible to see where your team’s strengths lie.
We built this festively themed game using the same learning technology that we use to gamify training for our customers. It uses the same SCORM we use to create games to drive staff engagement and generate valuable learning insights.

What is gamified learning?
Gamified learning has helped many of our customers identify strengths and weaknesses and a clear focus for future initiatives. If you'd like to learn more, we have a series of gamification blogs, case studies explaining how we helped Barclays, Société Générale and Royal Mail or and a gaming hub where you can try out one of our themed games.
Skillcast games present your employees with challenging propositions in a realistic context. Learners accept or reject each proposition with a click or swipe, losing lives for each incorrect answer and completing the game within a time limit. They are a fun and engaging learning tool with a serious purpose.
How gamified learning improves learning outcomes
- Driving behavioural change
Catch your employees' attention with a gamified approach to create awareness of key risks and build a culture of compliance in your organisation. - Boosting knowledge retention
Help your employees remember what they've learned in their training by applying their knowledge in a competitive setting. - Improving employee assessments
Separate assessments from training conducted days, weeks or months earlier to understand the long-term impact of the training. - Highlighting competency gaps
Use in-depth diagnostics to assess compliance risks by department, manager or area, and then close the gaps with specifically targeted content.
