This is a talk I gave in a Gamification Singapore meetup. I talked about how game mechanics can improve your life through examples, and I also took the liberty to define gamification in my own words. btw, the link http://gamemaki.com/gamesg is being replaced by http://gamemaki.com/game/gamesg

gamification = !edugaming? !or!advertgaming?!

gamification = !edugaming !or!advertgaming!

gamification = !making an otherwise boring action/process fun, gamey, addictive, and it should be social !

quality of life != utility of satisfaction != value of intrinsic rewards!+ value of extrinsic rewards!

gamification can amplify the intrinsic &

extrinsic rewards!

#1! ! Fitness!

#2! ! Health!

#3! ! Financial!

#4! ! Knowledge!

#5! ! Food!

but gamification is not magic.

it is a strategy !

which like many others, must be well

designed & planned!

otherwise it will backfire!
