Here’s more info:
Gamification is essentially the concept of applying game-design elements and principles to non-game scenarios to make them more interactive, engaging and fun. The use of game mechanics like points, badges, challenges, levels, leader boards and avatars help motivate actions that can ultimately add value to the organisation and business.
Games are immersive and addictive by nature. When these elements are applied to a business function, product or service through gamification, they help drive user engagement and adoption rates
