Chocolate Covered Broccoli Chocolate Covered Broccoli is a term used to describe a phenomenon in game design and education where a game or activity is made to appear fun and engaging by adding superficial elements, such as points, badges, or animations, but ultimately lacks substance and fails to engage the user.

This term is often used to criticize the practice of using shallow gamification elements to make educational content more appealing, rather than focusing on creating meaningful and interactive learning experiences.
