Gamification uses game-like mechanics in non-game settings to make applications more appealing. It involves adding elements like points, badges, and rewards to web and mobile apps to encourage people to use them more. For example, the Hops — Journey of Tree Spirit app turns daily activities into an adventure game. Users complete tasks like drinking water, exercising, or meditating to help their tree spirit grow and thrive. They earn points and rewards for each completed task, which keeps them motivated and engaged. Gamification also aims to promote specific behaviors by making these tasks more engaging. It taps into users’ natural love for games, making technology more enjoyable and motivating them to complete tasks they might usually find boring.
