Agreed. I don't have much more to add, and it's going to take actual experimentation to figure out what really works. (There's a risk of kids just writing off the whole thing as lame, depending on how you execute it). But I think the core idea is really solid.

I am personally not much affected by Achievement Points in games, but I am affected by the cool names that go along with them.
