Storytelling in gamification makes experiences more engaging by creating a narrative that users can follow. It includes characters, a plot, tension, and resolution, adding context and meaning to tasks. Here are two ways to implement storytelling in UX:

• Progression-based narratives: This approach uses leveling systems or achievement badges to create a sense of progression and accomplishment.
• Interactive storytelling: This method embeds interactive elements like quizzes or choose-your-own-adventure narratives to make the user experience more immersive and participatory.^[1]

For example, Habitica, a habit-building app, combines both progression-based narratives and interactive storytelling. Users create characters and embark on quests by completing real-life tasks. As users develop good habits, they earn rewards and unlock new features, creating a sense of progression. Additionally, the app offers interactive elements, such as team quests and challenges, where users make choices and collaborate with others, making the experience more engaging and educational.
