WHAT IS A GAME?
A voluntary, rules-bound experience of
competitive strife towards discrete
goals or outcomes.

THE PROBLEM WITH FUN
IT’S TOO DILUTED OF A CONCEPT
It doesn’t distinguish the unique psychological experience
of gameplay that leads to SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT.

COMPETENCE
THE PATH TO MASTERY:
+ The “Path To Mastery” is an experience over time
+ Nested, short-term achievable goals that lead to success of the overarching long-term goal.
+ Wherever a player is on their quest there should be a next goal just around the corner.
+ Design appropriate challenges and rewards for all players along Player Experience Lifecycle.
N00B –> Enthusiast –> Master

COMPETENCE
EXPERIENCE OF CHALLENGE
+ Keep core actions simple to engage players early
+ Accelerate the level of challenge as they gain mastery to keep them engaged
+ Optimal challenge stretches player ability but doesn’t overwhelm (Flow)
+ Allow players to fail gracefully if it can provide an opportunity to learn and grow.
MAKE PROGRESS VISIBLE:
+ Provide real-time granular, sustained and cumulative feedback on overall performance
+ Ensure that progress data is actionable and meaningful to player competence, during immediate
play and long-term engagement.
+ Utilize reward mechanics to light a blazed path of accomplishment.
+ NOT about shiny digital trophies, or badges

@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
EXPRESSION OF MASTERY
+ After hard-earned rewards, allow players to enjoy and express their dominance
+ Sustained engagement is more a function of continued success than feeling continually stretched
+ Ease-off dif!culty for a short term – Let them Coast.
+ Provide social outlets for bragging & peacocking
+ Big “Juicy Feedback” for a job well done

@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
THE GAME BELONGS TO THE USER
+ Choice, control and personal preference lead players to deep engagement and loyalty
+ Provide the right feedback (data, info, choices) for players to best make use of their autonomy
+ Experience pathways can be designed “on rails” to limit or give the illusion of freedom
+ Volitional Engagement: “I !nd value in the Actions I am taking.”
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION!
+ Create “What If?” moments: “What if I did X instead of Y?”
+ Provide a variety of ways to engage (competitive, cooperative, solo)
+ Provide a sense of increasing opportunities of action that motivate sustained interest:
(Challenges, Social Interactions, Secrets, Unlocks, etc.)
+ Design multiple pathways leading to the desired end-state

@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
THE SPARK OF CONNECTION
+ We are intrinsically motivated to seek meaningful connections with others
+ Data shows that allowing players to connect with others and build relationships energizes,
motivates and sustains ongoing engagement
+ Focus on mechanics that allow players to both give and receive support of their goals
+ Design for “Moments of Relevance,” allowing players to positively impact each other or the system
BEYOND OTHER PLAYERS
+ Provide value to your audience beyond the mechanics that run your system.
+ Tap into content that people are passionate about (Health, Wealth, Career, Arts, Pro-Social)
+ Provide recognition for actions that matter to your players not just to the business
+ Check out the CSCW movement (Computer Supported Cooperative Work)
+ Allow users to inject their own long & short term goals into the system

STEP 1: WHY GAMIFY?
CRITICAL STAKEHOLDER QUESTIONS:
1. What is the main reason for Gamifying your product / service?
2. How does it bene!t the user?
3. Will they enjoy it?
What are the goals of the business?
How do you get the users to ful!ll those goals?
What actions do you want your players to take?
BUSINESS QUESTIONS:
![Page 50: Beyond Gamification: Architecting Engagement Through Game Design Thinking](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022021421/58f9aa59760da3da068b7812/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
STEP 2: PLAYER PROFILE
Who are your players?
What are their needs and goals? Why are they Playing?
What’s holding them back from achieving their potential?
Is it lack of volition or lack of faculty?
What is their Primary Play Style? (Solo, Competitive, Cooperative)
Who are they Playing With?
What Social Actions do they !nd enjoyable – and why?
What Metrics do they care about?
RESEARCH INSPIRES DESIGN

STEP 2: PLAYER PROFILE
ACHIEVEMENT of goals <–OR–> ENJOYMENT of experience
STRUCTURE and guidance <–OR–> FREEDOM to explore
CONTROL of others <–OR–> CONNECT with others
SELF-INTEREST in actions <–OR–> SOCIAL INTEREST in actions
MOTIVATIONAL DRIVERS

STEP 3: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
![Page 53: Beyond Gamification: Architecting Engagement Through Game Design Thinking](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022021421/58f9aa59760da3da068b7812/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
STEP 3: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Long Term Goal must be compelling & fairly dif!cult to achieve.
Can be Mastery of New Skill, A New Habit, An Achievement, A Title or any other
pinnacle of personal growth.
THE HERO’S QUEST…
What must players accomplish in order to reach the ultimate objective?
How can you break the journey up into discrete and satisfying challenges that push
your players and help them improve?
ONE STEP AT A TIME
Figure out a way to make long-term and short-term goals as exciting and aspirational
as possible. Go for the Glory.
DESIRE TO INSPIRE
![Page 54: Beyond Gamification: Architecting Engagement Through Game Design Thinking](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022021421/58f9aa59760da3da068b7812/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
STEP 4: SKILLS & ACTIONS
Consider what abilities are necessary to succeed in the endeavor.
Make a skills list, of ALL the things you can think of that are relevant to your game across the
following categories:
PHYSICAL SKILLS (walking, running, typing, using a chef's knife)
MENTAL SKILLS (pattern recognition, memory, spatial logic, organization)
SOCIAL SKILLS (presentation, conversation, meeting new people)
MAKING LISTS IS A SKILL
Choose skills that have long learning curves and can be developed over time.
Break longer mastery arcs into smaller nested skill-chains
Are the skills you are considering measurable? How might you make them measurable?
(monitoring/technology dependent?)
TRACK AND MEASURE

@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
STEP 5: A LOOK THROUGH LENSES OF INTEREST
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!
COMPETITION TYPES: Player v Player, Player v System, Self-Directed
TIME PRESSURE: Relaxed explorative play or brash tactics get things done play.
SCARCITY: Scarcity can add a level of challenge and strategic gameplay.
PUZZLES: Problems that promise the existence of a solution.
NOVELTY: Change presents a new set of challenges and patterns to Master
LEVELS: Telegraph progress, ability and access & Provide Roadmap of Progress
SOCIAL PRESSURE/PROOF: The herd must be right
TEAMWORK: Can also be resistance when we need to work with others
CURRENCY: Anything that can be exchanged for something of value will be sought
RENEWALS & POWER-UPS: ‘Unstick’ player & redirect from dead-ends.

@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
STEP 6: DESIRED OUTCOMES
Positives include both tangible and intangible rewards such as moving up a level
Negative might be starting a challenge over.
Outcomes can be contingent or scheduled. Players can trigger an outcome based on speci!c
action they take or based on a time frame within the game.
FEEDBACK, REWARDS & RESULTS
The Ultimate Objective (Epic Win!) may take weeks, months, years to achieve but along the way
players need to see and feel incremental successes and failures.
EPIC WIN!

STEP 7: PLAY-TEST & POLISH!
![Page 58: Beyond Gamification: Architecting Engagement Through Game Design Thinking](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022021421/58f9aa59760da3da068b7812/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
@DU5TB1N | #Geekend
STEP 7: PLAY-TEST & POLISH!
What's working / What isn't?
What have you not considered?
Is the game personal enough for your players?
Do they feel that it's tailored to their own unique personality and desires?

EVOLUTION
Games are motivation engines.
Opportunities are ripe to evolve “gami!cation”
past shallow extrinsic motivational tactics and
towards a more balanced “gameful design”.
Since video games are designed with the
primary purpose of entertainment, shouldn’t
they be able to make other non-game products
more enjoyable as well?
