Did you ever lose track of time because of a game? And have you ever asked yourself how you ended up spending 4 hours playing Candy Crush?
Games are one of the most engaging things that we can find because they involve and fulfill almost all of our main human motivators and happiness factors while creating so much funbut some very special ones have this stickiness that makes us want to play them for a long period of time.
But…why?
After seeing the results of the Top 40 Gamification Gurus leaderboard in the beginning of the month (I joined the list at #35!), it’s helped me really visualize the passionate people who are working in this industry, as well as the evangelists promoting the idea of engagement with fun design.
I’m certain most of the people on the list have thoughts, ideas, and great information to share with the gamification community and I would like to make these voices heard, which is why I am excited to announce the start of our Gamification Community Op-Ed Program!
