We begin in a dark room.
The room is freezing.
The fire is dead.
Light fire.
Stoke fire.
The light from the fire spills from
the windows, out into the dark.
A fire-lit room
The room is warm.
Stoke fire.

A ragged stranger stumbles

AGENDA
 A Dark Room
What is gamification, really?
How are games used now?
What are we missing?
An appeal to play
What else can games do?
9
What is gamification, really?
But have you ever been asked, “What is a game?”
You might have been asked to
define this before.
“It’s the use of game-thinking and
game mechanics in a non-game
context in order to engage users
and solve problems.”
10
No universally accepted academic definition
…engaging in
conflict (narrative)…
…games are
systems with
rules…
…art with a
goal…
Jane McGonigal Katie Salen /
Eric Zimmerman
Greg Costikayan
11
Our definition for today?
Play is what happens when you freely and knowingly
bound your behaviour to a set of rules in the hope of
gaining some benefit.
Games are play you can lose.
Richard Bartle, PhD
(I bring up the PhD so play research sounds more legitimate)
12
How are games used now?
13
And here’s a picture of a dog with his head stuck
in a bucket of puffed cheesy balls
14
Tip: Get a hold of your outcomes, of course
Image: Wuzzit Trouble by BrainQuake
Wuzzit Trouble
• Not procedural practice
• About number sense, not symbols
• Multiple solutions to complex
problems
Forbes
Interview with Slate
15
What’s in this picture?
16
Beat your score - StupidRobot
• Crowd-sourced metadata
tagging
• Two minutes to describe a
picture
• Words 4-10 letters long
• Friendly, challenging,
engaging
• Rewarded for Specificity
Image: StupidRobot, metadatagames.org
17
Tip: Incentivise the behaviour.
Via: “Citizen Archivists at Play: Game Design for Gathering Metadata for Cultural Heritage Institutions.” Mary Flanagan, et al, 2013
Form the incentive around improving the the learner’s core value.
18
Leaderboards in games
Know where
you stand!
Encourage
competition!
19
CityVille leaderboards
• Complete tasks you
would be doing anyways.
• Earn prizes for top
positions.
Image: CityVille, Zynga
Fastest Growing City
Expand your city into the most
squares possible
• Time Limit 7 days
Most Productive City
• Earn points by collecting from
businesses
• Time Limit: 14 days
20
Tip: Be aware of the N-Effect
More competitors = Less Motivation
Social-comparison pressure increases
in proximity to a standard
Ex: Rivals ranked 3 and 4, or 500 and
501 on the Fortune 500 list.
Rivals at 103 and 104 have minimal
competition.
The N-Effect, More Competitors, Less Competition. Stephen M. Garcia
and Avishalom Tor. Pyschological Science Vol 20 number 7. 2009.More competitors 
Morecompetition
21
Club Psych example
Challenges for points!
Collect virtual stuff!Earn points to enter drawings!
Win real prizes!
22
However….
Engagement can not be “gamed” into existence.
23
Engagement is not “gamed”
“People claim [loyalty programmes] to be important
to their decision making, but the truth is they really
don’t seem to actually impact their behaviour over
the long run.
Andrew Lewis, managing director at TRA
New Zealand Marketing, July/August 2015
24
Tip: Reward with personalisation, emotion
“What is evident when successful loyalty
programmes are examined against those
that fail to create change is that they create
stronger emotional bonds between the
customer and the brand.”
Andrew Lewis, managing director at TRA
New Zealand Marketing, July/August 2015

That definition again
Play is what happens when you freely and knowingly
bound your behaviour to a set of rules in the hope of
gaining some benefit.
Games are play you can lose.
Play is fun. Fun is FLOW

You’ve probably heard of FLOW

1. What are the learner’s motivations?
• We are making learning for humans. Involve their
psychology.
2. How can we incorporate fun?
• There’s more than high-score.
3. What are we measuring?
• Measuring something tells the learners that its
important. Grading it means they’ll “game” it.
Ask ourselves

  3. Without asking the further question, we will be relegated to surface levels of “game mechanics” that one finds in the cheap fix of gambling and addictive feedback loops.
  4. We’ll come back to this idea of play. Natch.
  5. Gamification too often means making a game out of learning, to win points/powers/or some other reward for practicing math, spelling or another school subject. The best educational games capture what’s already fun about learning and make That central to the game. “If you’re good at arithmetic, Math Blaster’s fun, because it reinforces that you’re good at math. If you’re not understanding arithmetic, you’re getting nowhere with this.” - Eric Klopfer
  6. “non-routine type that the students had been unlikely to have encountered before.” It was what education researchers call a “complex performance task.” That means it could have multiple solutions, but can’t be solved using the technique taught in class. Students first need to figure out what the question is even asking, then they need to make decisions about how to solve it. Eric Klopfer
