The Lure Of The Game

  • App makers are infusing game mechanics and game experiences with their products to add a level of thrill and instant gratification(with variable rewards) and make the experience similar to a slot machine.
  • This helps increase engagement levels and people can save money while enjoying a game-like thrill.

Social media, fitness, education, crowdfunding, employee training and even social credit systems now deploy gamification enhancements to lure more and more people.

Feel Good Chemicals In The Brain

Gamification works on our motivational levels, satisfying our psychological needs, and providing us with a sense of reward.

The brain goes in a ‘neurologic immersion’ state where we crave more ‘variable rewards’ that are unpredictable, emotionally charged and engaging.

Example: Scratching a virtual scratch card after making a payment and winning a small cashback releases feel-good neurotransmitters inside the brain, like oxytocin and dopamine.

Winning The Lottery Every Day

The lottery is a USD 70 billion industry.

Financial and banking apps use this interest for the lottery and incorporate small ‘games’ inside their apps that encourage customers to make automatic investments and win prizes without hurting their principal amount.

Though there is an amount of addiction associated with gamification, the concept is a positive implementation of an otherwise negative trait found in normal people: The thrill of gambling.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
