What is the best example of effective gamification for you?

Question

Hi all 👋

I'm working on a project that enables businesses to integrate gamification into any system.

As part of this, I'm researching highly effective examples of gamification. Many of us can probably relate to these examples:

- Duolingo's learning leaderboards and streaks
- ProductHunt's streaks
- Strava's Local Legend

So, I would like to ask: What is the best example of gamification that has worked for you?

A personal example for myself = I keep signing in daily to retain my streak – I'm not even sure why! 🤣🤣

Thanks a lot 🙏

You actually listed everything that I would incorporate there too. 😀 Maybe I would list there also some fitness apps like Health where you can create goals to achieve. But Strava is pretty similar to that.

I really enjoy the gamification aspect of Duolingo. I recently decided to brush up on my long-forgotten school French, and the app's gamified features and visible progress have been incredibly motivating. They compel me to open the app daily, and I'm proud to say I've maintained a streak of over 600 days and 100.000+ experience!

In fact, the gamification aspect is essential for getting through tough days when you're in a bad mood or distracted by other interests. Even on those days, I still use Duolingo to maintain my streak and keep up my progress.

Somebody else using Duolingo? What is your strike?

For me, the most effective gamification comes from habit-forming apps like Habitica. It turns daily tasks into a role-playing game, where completing real-life tasks levels up your character. This clever blend of productivity and play not only keeps me engaged but also makes mundane tasks enjoyable. 🎮✅

Oh, the power of streaks! Duolingo's got us hooked like virtual language-learning wizards. It's like a daily challenge with less sweat and more brain gains! 🧠✨

@shadmannazim This sounds amazing, this was actually also something i had in mind.
That when i made the basic parts like leaderboard etc, i wanted to expand with using AI to create like storytelling around daily quests.

You know a bit like taking a quest in a game! 👌

That sounds amazing, congratulations on the streak, 600 days is boss-mode.!

And yeah DuoLingo really mastered the gamification part, they are also one of my top cases when i try to learn about it 🙏

Thanks for sharing Nika, it looks nice.

I will add it to my list source list 👍

I'm currently working on a headless gamification platform, aiming to enable others to integrate gamification elements like those found in Duolingo and Strava.

I'm looking for inspirational cases that demonstrate effective use of gamification in similar contexts. Therefor my question 🙏☺️

@thestarkster Yeah Duolingo truly is the wizards of gamification! 🤩
