What is Gamification?
It is the use of game mechanics to motivate the user in non-game areas.
Overview
It is a method of adding game elements such as collecting points, leveling up, leaderboards or earning badges to daily applications so that people do not get bored while doing a task. The goal is to increase user loyalty.
How it works
When the user completes a task, you trigger the reward mechanism in his brain by giving him a virtual reward.
Where it is used
It's very common in language learning apps, fitness trackers, and corporate training software.
Frequently asked questions
Can everything be gamified?
