Greetings from the bustling Dubai Harbour! 🌟 Our adventure at the Expand North Star event, inspired by GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World, is going fantastic, and the ZUNO Games booth is attracting a huge amount of attention! 🎮 I’m truly enjoying being surrounded by so much innovation in one place and having the opportunity to meet people who share a passion for technology and education.

Did you know that Wordle, one of the most popular crosswords that changed the strategic direction of the New York Times, is a love story? Josh Wardle, a software engineer in Brooklyn, created it for his partner who loved playing word games. So, he made a guessing game for the two of them to play together. This resonated with me because it mirrors the ritual my partner and I have had throughout our long-distance relationship - playing Wordle together (almost) every day. Little did Wardle (also, can we acknowledge the genius of this pun?) know that what started as an effort to make someone you love happy, would eventually turn into a successful business enjoyed by millions of people. In fact, The New York Times purchased the game in 2022, which had such a profound impact to the company. Wordle attracted 'tens of millions' of new users, many of whom stayed to play other games, making it the company's best quarter for games subscription growth. Today, its expanded NYT Game is an important part of its sales pipeline, driving digital subscriptions of the news section as well. It made me think about how some of the most successful ideas and businesses emerged out of love - for our partners, family, environment… In the case of ZUNO Games, it was the love of learning and a drive to make learning in a digital age engaging, fun, and accessible to everyone. Our story is still being written though and in case you want to hear more about what we do, let’s talk! #StartupLife #Gamification #OnlineLearning #MNEfounder

When we experience something rewarding - like savoring delicious food 🍲 or sipping coffee ☕ - our brains release #dopamine, the neurotransmitter for pleasure and reward. This dopamine rush travels from the midbrain 🧠 to the frontal lobes, where high-level thinking and planning happen. But did you know that we can trigger these pathways through what we call “interrogative goals”? This type of motivation drives us to seek rewards, leading to the creation of long-lasting, embedded memories. 🧩✨ So, how does this tie into #games and #learning? 🎮📚 Games create interrogative goals that activate these reward pathways, resulting in relational long-term memories. In simpler terms: games make learning stick! 🕹️🔗 Research shows that gamification fosters inquiry, collaboration, and idea exchange, all while reducing stress compared to traditional #teaching methods. 📝🔍🤝 And let’s be honest - most people don’t get a dopamine rush from a textbook. 📖😅 If you’d like more information on how ZUNO’s educational video games can enhance your corporate training programs, let’s connect! 🤝💼 #ZUNO #learning #edtech #startup #learningisfun #learn #play #videogames #education #newmethods

Our co-founder, Sanja, recently participated in a groundbreaking panel organized by the German-Montenegrin Business Club (DMW), hosted by NLB Banka Podgorica. 🌟 This event was a unique gathering of top Montenegrin and German entrepreneurs from the IT sector, telecommunications, banking, and tourism industries. 🌍 Alongside distinguished speakers like Martin Leberle (CEO of NLB Banka Podgorica), Peter Felten (German Ambassador to Montenegro), Stjepan Udovičić (CEO of Crnogorski Telekom), Mihael Bader (founder of Wild Beauty train), and Kristofer Heil (founder of Crnogorska Fortress), Sanja shared insights into the innovative gamified technologies we’re developing. 🚀 Sanja described how our #ZUNO idea evolved from our first web game, which was played by 8% of the population, to the e-learning system we are currently developing. She also highlighted how we, as part of the Montenegrin ecosystem, have grown with the opportunities provided. 📈🕹️ She emphasized the remarkable progress of Montenegro’s innovation ecosystem over the past two years. She underscored the crucial role of government-funded institutions such as the Fond za inovacije Crne Gore, Inovaciono preduzetnički centar Tehnopolis/Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Tehnopolis, and the newly opened Naučno-tehnološki park Crne Gore / Science Technology Park of Montenegro. These institutions provide comprehensive support for startups, from the ideation stage to creating market-ready products. 🏢💡 A huge thank you to NLB Banka Podgorica for hosting such a transformative event and for the opportunity to share our vision. 🙏 #Innovation #Technology #Montenegro #Germany #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Networking
