2. Know the Elements of Gamification (cont.)

A few key components:

  • Experience bars -- These measure our incremental progress and help us visualize how far we’ve come and how far we have to go.
  • Multiple long- and short-term goals -- These are our main quests and side quests, which are broken down into smaller tasks.
  • Rewards for effort -- Every bit of effort exerted in a game is rewarded through credit, such as gold, loot and experience.
  • Rapid, frequent and clear feedback -- This clearly links actions to consequences, which makes learning easier and faster.
  • The element of uncertainty -- This is the neurological gold mine: we keep going because we want to find out what’s next.
  • Windows of enhanced attention -- Gameplay helps boost memory and confidence. Game players are more willing to take risks and pursue difficult tasks.
  • Other people -- Gameplay gives us a chance to connect with multiple players online.
