Gamification

What is Gamification?

Gamification is the application of game-design elements and game principles in non-game contexts. It’s used to engage users, increase motivation, and drive desired behaviors. This can involve points, badges, leaderboards, progress bars, and other game-like mechanics. Context: Gamification is frequently used in marketing, education, employee training, and fitness apps to boost engagement and retention. Examples: Earning points for completing tasks in a language-learning app; receiving badges for achieving milestones in a fitness tracker; competing against friends on a leaderboard in a productivity app.
