• Employee Incentives – using game mechanics for more employee

  productivity or for employee training, incentives, etc.

• Collaborative Work – to encourage teams to discover solutions.

• Social Change – using game mechanics to enact social change.
The purpose of gamification
• Motivation & long term user engagement and loyalty.
• Making things more pleasurable in an interaction, process &
   information overloaded world (gain user attention).
• Creates a brand connection with users / customers in a meaningful
   and interesting way and aligns business objectives with user’s
   motivations.
• Can be used in different roles & scenarios: Customer, patient, user,
   student, employee, personal motivation & engagement.
• Builds complex systems for motivation that meets people’s intrinsic
   desire but also make them feel that they are accomplishing
   something aspirational and make them move forwards in their life.
The purpose of gamification
• Gamification is an interesting way of looking at all kinds of systems
  design: what are the motivations of our actions? What drives a
  community to act or users to act?
• Taps into the millennium generation & people’s intrinsic desire for
  motivation.
• Empirical data shows that games are superior at motivational
  techniques – if game mechanics are used in a smart & effective
  way.
• Companies that are experimental & smart use gamification for
  positive change & influence in employee & customer communities.
• Game mechanics are going to replace more traditional systems of
  user motivations.
• Gamification makes feedback loops tighter and a little bit more
  decentralised.
Step 1: Why Gamify?

   Critical Stakeholder Questions:
   1.   What is the main reason for Gamifying your product / service?
   2.   How does it benefit the user?
   3.   Will they enjoy it?


   Business Questions:
   1.   What are the goals of the business?
   2.   How do you get the user to fulfill these goals?
   3.   What actions do you want your players to take?
Step 2: Player Profile
   Research Inspires Design:
   1.   Who are your players?
   2.   What are their needs and goals? Why are they playing?
   3.   What’s holding them back from achieving their potential?
   4.   Is it lack of volition or lack of faculty?
   5.   What is their primary player style – solo, competitive or
        cooperative?
   6.   Who are the playing with?
   7.   What Social Actions do they find enjoyable – and why?
   8.   What metrics do they care about?

   Motivational Drivers:
   1.   Achievement of goals <-or-> Enjoyment of experience.
   2.   Structure and guidance <-or-> Freedom to explore.
   3.   Control of others <-or-> Connect with others.
   4.   Self-interest in actions <-or-> Social Interest in actions.
Step 3: Goals & Objectives
   The Hero’s Quest….
   1.   The Long Term Goal must be compelling & fairly difficult to
        achieve.
   2.   Can be Master of a New Skill, A New Habit, An Achievement, A
        Title or any other pinnacle of personal growth.

   One Step at a Time.
   1.   What must players accomplish in order to reach the ultimate
        objective?
   2.   How can you break the journey up into discrete & satisfying
        challenges that push your players & help them improve?

   Desire to Inspire.
   1.   Figure out a way to make long-term & short-term goals as
        exciting & aspirational as possible. Go for the Glory!
Step 4: Skills & Actions
 Making Lists a Skill.
 1.   Consider what abilities are necessary to succeed in the endeavor.
 2.   Make a skills lost of ALL things you can think of that are relevant to
      your game across the following categories:
      • Physical Skills – walking, running, typing, using a chefs knife, etc.
      • Mental Skills – pattern recognition, memory, spatial logic,
          organization.
      • Social Skills – presentation, conversation, meeting new people.

 Track and Measure.
 1.   Choose skills that have long learning curves and can be developed
      over time.
 2.   Break longer mastery arcs into smaller nested sill-chains.
 3.   Are the skills you are considering measurable? How might you make
      them measurable?
Step 5: Look Through Lenses of Interest

 Viva La Resistance!
 1.  Competition Types: Player vs Player, Player vs System, Self Directed.
 2.  Time Pressure: Relaxed explorative play or brash tactics get things done
     play.
 3. Scarcity: Scarcity can add a level of challenge and strategic game play.
 4. Puzzles: Problems that promise the existence of a solution.
 5. Novelty: Change presents a new set of challenges & patterns to master.
 6. Levels: Provide roadmap of progress.
 7. Social Pressure / Proof: The herd must be right.
 8. Teamwork: Can also be resistance when we need to work with others.
 9. Currency: Anything that can be exchanged for something of value will
     be sought.
 10. Renewals & Power-ups: “Unstick” players & redirect from dead-ends.
Step 6: Desired Outcomes

 Feedback, Rewards & Results.
 1.   Positive includes both tangible & intangible rewards such as moving
      up a level.
 2.   Negative might be starting a challenge over.
 3.   Outcomes can be contingent or scheduled. Players can trigger an
      outcome based on specific action they take or based on a time frame
      within a game.

 Epic Win!
 1.   The Ultimate Objective (Epic Win!) may take weeks, months, years to
      achieve but along the way players need to see and feel incremental
      successes and failures.
Step 7: Play-Test & Polish

 Platforms are never done.
 1.   What’s working / What isn’t?
 2.   What have you not considered?
 3.   Is the game personal enough for your players?
 4.   Do they feel that it’s tailored to their own unique personality &
      desires?
 5.   Are you tapping into Player Experience needs of Competence,
      Autonomy & Mastery?
 6.   What is going to keep it interesting in 10 weeks time? In 8 months
      time?
 7.   When players reach the Epic Win! It’s time to go back to the drawing
      board.
