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 logging in daily. 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 — and to progress along the map, you have to complete challenges, with more becoming available every day. The challenges are small, repeatable and can fit easily 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, whatever their level — and whether it is HIIT, strength, or yoga that they prefer. 3. MeditationEmployees 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. And, to ensure your people are getting more value from their wellbeing benefits and information about what they can access should the worst happen, the YuLife app also delivers additional value through 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 Checkers 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: the Forest, Ocean, Desert and Mountain. You are limited in how many challenges are available each day, but at midnight they are renewed. 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 (The Forest level) can take 1 challenge per day to receive a YuCoin reward. Upon completing The Forest (which takes a minimum of 50 days to complete) the YuLifer is then invited to do 2 challenges per day and therefore earns YuCoin for both. This continues up to 4 challenges per day they can earn YuCoin from, in addition to the YuCoin you earn simply for getting in your normal steps for the day (which is also called your ‘Daily Activity’).StreaksOur Streaks 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.And that concludes our short introduction to YuLife Quests.
