Understanding Gamification of Consumer Experiences
Gamification intends to change behavior in non-game settings. It deploys three interrelated game design principles: mechanics, dynamics, and emotions. Based on these principles, we demonstrate how gamification can add fun and improve player behavior. Using four extended examples, we develop a gamification experience typology and derive gamification lessons for firms.
