Gamification involves using game elements and mechanics in non-game contexts to motivate and engage users. It can be applied by adding badges, points, leaderboards and other rewards to encourage behaviors. However, gamification requires understanding the target audience and their motivations. It also needs clear goals and metrics to define success, without deceiving users or being too ambitious in scope. When done right, gamification can create more engaging user experiences.

- #9: Whilst there are many tools available to a gamifier, the ones you will most commonly see are Points, Badges and Leader boards. In many games and gamified systems, extrinsic (external physical or representations of physical) rewards are made heavy use of. There are several reasons for this. They are very visible. They are pretty easy to implement. They are also easy for the user to understand. Everybody understands the idea that if I do something, I will get a reward. If I belong to something for a long time, I get a reward. If I excel at something, I get a reward that has meaning to me and is a symbol to others of my achievement. It is also easy to understand that if you are at the top of a ladder or leader board, you are the best. This gives you status and some degree of power, both things that humans like to have.
