how gamification works

Gamification has the incredible power to make everything feel like fun – your users will interact with your business effortlessly and out of their own interest and entertainment.

Elements of gamification, as dissected in the book “Gamify: How Gamification Motivates People to Do Extraordinary Things” by Brian Burke includes Game mechanics, Experience design, Digital engagement, Motivation and Goal achievement.

Game mechanics describes the key elements that are common to many games, such as points, badges, and leaderboards. Experience design describes the journey players take with elements such as game play, play space, and story line. Lastly, Gamification is a method to digitally engage rather than personally engage, meaning that players interact with computers, smartphones, wearable monitors, or other digital devices.

The goal of Gamification is to motivate people to change behaviors or develop skills, or to drive innovation. It focuses on enabling players to achieve their goals—and as a consequence the organization achieves its goals.

about gamified marketing

Gamification is not a product, it’s a process. We are constantly evolving it over time in an agile way where we seek to improve the nature of the game and interaction we have with the users over that arc of time. It’s the underlying mechanics andconcepts of games that make them compelling. When we bring in the notions of loyalty programs and behavioral economics and combine with games we take those ideas and create powerful and lasting engagement with consumers and employees. To put it simply, gamification incorporates fun and an element of competition to a marketing strategy.

competitions and games

Introducing Competitiveness

Rewarding players with points and badges or displaying top players on special leaderboards, marketers can appeal to the competitive nature of humans and successfully engage consumers with the brand. Games can offer new ways to power up communities and create a sense of natural and fun competition to boost engagement and capture new potential leads.

The Mechanics

The application of psychology and game mechanics, like competition, point scoring, rules to play, etc., to make users behave in a desired way as well as motivate them to perform tasks that require effort and time

Gamification and Real World Problems

Using games and play to achieve real-world goals does not necessarily imply that seriousness will be taken away from the activities being accomplished. Instead, it means that these activities must be designed in ways that leave space for playful minds to experiment and create innovative solutions, for gameful minds to take on challenges that will lead to the accomplishment of quite difficult goals, and for many people to cooperate in ways that will allow the accomplishment of greater goals that would not be possible with the efforts of one person alone.
