Gamification

Gamification, or gameful design, is all about motivation. It's the art of finding the fun and challenge in everyday activities and framing them like a game to make them more engaging. From business and health to education and personal habits, gamification turns "have to" into "want to." Share your projects, ask questions, and trade ideas with fellow designers, researchers, and enthusiasts. When posting new concepts / products, include screenshots / demo videos, and keep it genuine, not salesy.
