Tis the season for competition.

A Humana press release this morning revealed the three winners of the InsertCoin Game Idea Competition which began last summer.  The goal of the competition was to establish what gamers are looking for in health games and ultimately create better health games for consumers.  Prizes of $5K, $3K and $2K were given to first, second and third place winners respectively.

And the winners are…

Many entered, but only three ideas made the cut.  Here are the lucky winners:

1. Shelly Warmuth of Green Bay, Wisconsin for her idea “Dance Class” where players are taught to dance by virtual dance instructor avatars.
2. John Green of Brooklyn, New York for his idea “Camp Awesome,” a summer camp simulator where players get the full action-packed experience of a camp.
3. Kevin Ray for his idea “Jungle Mayhem,” an activity and social based game.

Everyone at healthGAMERS sends a huge “Congratulations!” to the three winners for their accomplishments.  We look forward to seeing these games produced.  For more information, see the official Humana Games for Health InsertCoin press release.
