If you don’t yet have the YuLife app, or you’re new to it, you may be wondering what we mean when we say ‘quest’, ‘challenge’ or ‘levels’. After all, it’s an employee app, not a computer game! But this is where the YuLife employee app is different from your average employee benefit app: it’s designed around the mechanics that make games so fun to use. And by making it fun, we keep employees engaged and encourage them to log in every day. What is a ‘YuLife quest’? Essentially, it’s a map with challenges you can take daily to progress through it. There is a tab in the YuLife app called Quests, and on selecting it you’re presented with a map. To progress along the map, you have to complete challenges, more of which become available every day. The challenges are small, repeatable and can easily fit into people’s daily lives:1. Daily walksThese encourage YuLifers to improve their physical wellbeing, regardless of their ability, with a short stroll (5 minutes), brisk walk (10 minutes), or long walk (30 minutes). 2. WorkoutsYuLifers can get free workouts from popular fitness app, Fiit, no matter what level they're at—and whether it is HIIT, strength, or yoga that they prefer. 3. Meditation Employees can boost their mental wellbeing with 3-10 minutes of mindfulness (such as breathing exercises or meditation) from a connected app. 4. YudokuYudoku is YuLife's version of Sudoku, allowing your team to complete the simple number game to keep their mind relaxed.So yes, the YuLife app houses access and details for all of your employee benefits—insurance to EAP—but to ensure your people are getting more value from their wellbeing benefits than information about what they could access should the worst happen, the YuLife app delivers value through these quests, challenges and rewards. And those rewards are called ‘YuCoin’.For steps taken and challenges completed, YuLife’s in-app currency, YuCoin, is rewarded.YuCoin can then be redeemed in the real world for various rewards—from Amazon vouchers to planting trees. There’s a list of partners and brands that are always growing and evolving, and they can all be found by tapping on the ‘rewards’ tab in the app. How many levels are there within YuLife’s Quests? YuLife has 200 levels to travel through and users travel on quests through 4 different worlds: Forest, Ocean, Desert and Mountain. The number of YuLife challenges you can do each day is limited but that number renews at midnight. Upon completing each world, the YuLifer unlocks more challenges per day. And more challenges = more YuCoin. For example, a YuLifer, at the start of their journey (Forest level) can take 1 challenge per day to receive a YuCoin reward. Upon completing Forest (which takes a minimum of 50 days) the YuLifer is invited to do 2 challenges per day and earns YuCoin for both. YuLifers can earn YuCoin for up to 4 challenges a day, in addition to the YuCoin earned simply for achieving your daily steps (your ‘Daily Activity’).StreaksStreaks are designed to reward continued activity. If a YuLifer completes a challenge every day for 5 days in a row, there is an additional bounty of YuCoin awarded for completing the streak. This streak bounty is designed to incentivise the YuLifer to build small and healthy habits. ChestsChests deliver a large bounty of YuCoin which can be unlocked every 7 quests. This ensures that those who progress through the quests receive the most YuCoin.If you have any questions or want to see an app demo, contact the YuLife team and they’d be happy to help!
