KeyRocket Preps Release of Shortcut Challenge!

Sept. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- KeyRocket is in the final stages of introducing a gamification element called the Shortcut Challenge that will soon offer users a productive way to compete with friends and colleagues.

KeyRocket has designed yet another way to make learning keyboard shortcuts fun with the Shortcut Challenge! This gamification element will further engage users by allowing them to compete with their friends and co-workers.  

With the Shortcut Challenge, the objective is for users to collect fuel for their rocket and send it soaring. The more shortcuts learned and utilized, the more fuel obtained. Beware of the mouse! Failing to use keyboard shortcuts will enable this eager alien to steal fuel; leaving you in the dust when it’s time for take-off. Users can track their progress, and that of their opponents, via an online profile.
