Hey everyone! I'm Rob, a moderator of r/gamification.
Gamification, or gameful design, is all about motivation. It's the process of finding the fun and challenge in everyday activities, and framing them like a game to make them more engaging. Gamification can be used in a range of areas, like business, health, and education. This community exists for people who design, research, or just enjoy gamification and want a place to think out loud together. We're excited to have you join us!
The community rules are now visible in the sidebar / about section – please give them a quick read so you know what flies here (and what does not).
What's welcome here

Guys,
I’m building a futuristic goal and habit tracker, Habit Leveling. I’ve been happily using it for over a year now but have been struggling to keep people coming back as much as me.
I thought I should add leaderboards. I tied goal progress and habit consistency to XP. Now everyone can have a rank and percentile. Also, people can compete against each other with their goals and habits even if they are completely unrelated. This turns into a game of “Who can improve the most?”
There’s already goals, subgoals, and progress bars. There’s habits, daily tasks, and habit strength/rank based on consistency. There’s a profile to summarize all your efforts in just one page.
This just adds another gamification angle: competition and social pressure. Hopefully it can improve motivation.
You can also see other people's goals and habits. People can stay anonymous or use a username.
What do you think? Feedback welcome.
Thank you

Hey everyone — I’m the developer of The System, a completely free Connect IQ app I’ve been working on for Garmin watches.
The basic idea is to turn real-world fitness and personal development into something closer to an RPG progression system rather than just another activity tracker.
The app gives you five abilities:
STR — strength training
AGI — speed/agility work
VIT — endurance and mobility
INT — reading, writing, and arts practice
PER — consistency with sleep
You also have XP, Levels, Rank, Job, Titles, Skills, Daily Quests, Dungeons, HP, MP, Fatigue, and a Penalty Zone if you fail your Daily Quest.
The main gameplay loop is:
The workouts themselves scale with your current stats, and the watch handles the sets, rep entry, rest timers, and progression. Runs, walks, biking, swimming, reading/writing, and arts practice can all be tracked directly through the app.
I originally built it because I wanted something that made long-term self-improvement feel measurable and game-like instead of simply showing me yesterday’s numbers.
The app is completely free — no subscription, no ads, and no account required.
I’ve tested it across a range of Garmin screen sizes and devices, but this is the first public release, so I’d especially appreciate feedback on bugs, device-specific issues, workout balancing, or anything that feels confusing.
Connect IQ: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/28ab5e16-078f-4b3b-a2e1-0a898c601186
Disclosure: I developed the concept, progression system, workouts, testing, and overall design, and used AI assistance during parts of the coding/development process.

Hey everyone! I just published my website https://www.soul-sailor.de/ and would love to get your honest feedback and constructive critique. What I’d specifically like feedback on:
• 4. Do you feel the urge to get started, and if not, what exactly is missing?
Feel free to be completely honest – constructive criticism is very welcome! Thanks for your time.

In recent years I've developed a slightly ridiculous problem: I can spend hours happily continuing an AI story, but somehow “put laundry away” remains an insurmountable challenge.
So I started experimenting with tying the two together.
I built a todo list where completing real-life tasks earns you tokens.
Those tokens are what let you continue an AI-narrated RPG.
So - if you want to find out what happens next, you actually have to get things done.
It’s gradually turned into Task & Tale, with persistent worlds, characters, story memory, daily/repeating tasks, etc., but the bit I’m most interested in is still that basic reward loop:
Do task → earn story → want more story → do another task.
I’ve been testing it with a small alpha group, and I’m curious what people here think of the mechanic from an actual gamification perspective.
If anyone wants to poke around, it’s taskandtale.com.
Would genuinely yout thoughts & feedback.

I built a challenge app — would you actually use it? 👀
I've been working on a small app called XNOVA ⚡
The idea is simple:
🎯 Take on challenges
📹 Prove you actually did them
⭐ Earn XP
🔥 Build streaks
🏆 Climb the leaderboard
👥 Challenge your friends
I'm still building the early version, so I'm looking for honest feedback from real people.
I don't want people telling me it's good just to be nice 😂. If something is boring, confusing, broken, or just a bad idea — tell me.
👉 Try it here: https://xnova-challenge-quest.lovable.app
If you try it, tell me:
1. What did you like?
2. What should I change?
3. What challenge would you want to see?
4. Would you use it again?
I'm building this from scratch, so your feedback could actually influence what gets added next. ⚡

I’ve been working on Step Conquest, a pixel-art walking RPG where your real-world steps contribute to your progress in the game.
The game is currently in closed testing on Android, and I’m looking for more people to try it out and give feedback before release.
Right now you can:
There’s still a lot I want to improve, so feedback about gameplay, balancing, bugs, onboarding, UI, step tracking, combat, guild progression, and anything that feels confusing or frustrating would be especially useful.
1. Join the Google Group:
https://groups.google.com/g/step-conquest
2. Join the closed test:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.app.eighterio.stepconquest
3. Install Step Conquest:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.eighterio.stepconquest
If you give it a try, I’d really appreciate hearing what you like, what you dislike, and what you think should be improved.
Thanks for helping me build Step Conquest.

Hey! I’m the developer of WTFog, an exploration app that turns the real world into a persistent fog-of-war map.
The map starts covered in fog. As you walk, run, cycle, or otherwise explore, you permanently uncover the places you visit. The goal is to make choosing unfamiliar streets and trails feel more rewarding than just counting steps.
Some of the main features:
WTFog has a free tier, with optional Premium features such as route editing, import Fog of World progress and GPX-files, and additional map tools, including a separate web editor for editing routes and cleared fog. If you want to test any premium features, please let me know and I'll give you premium for a couple of months.

I’m building Aqualoot, a water-tracking app that isn’t on the App Store yet. You track your daily water goal, and as you hit it you get a tank for a virtual aquarium. Completing goals unlocks more coins(to buy tanks). In total I have about 100 fishes and each of them has a shiny and gold version. Premium adds extra fish, better options, accessories and more luck for shiny's. Still early and looking for honest interest/feedback. Would something like this appeal to you? Any features that would make (or break) it for you?

I built an app that combines the perks of gamification with the habit of moving your body.
Your companion is a Hippo which will stay by your side at all time, it will grow with you, laugh with you and most importantly it will run for you.
Check out Hippo Gym Tracker for the first of its kinds gaming Gym Tracker app.
Train and reward yourself with a few runs inside the Hippo Gym Runner, collect currency and unlock skins and achievements while doing so.
Help your Hippo reach new stages and let him help you, do the same.
Most importantly have fun while doing so !!
Hippo Gym Tracker, available inside Google Play store right now.
IOS is coming soon !
Cheers Jan

What sectors of the economy can you think of which can be de-commodified by gamification where a producer-consumer relationship is broken down to egalitarian peer to peer gift economy?
Here is a list with what I have so far:
r/gamification • u/awakenq-app • 3d ago
If you are a heavy sleeper, you've probably tried apps that blast sirens or punish you for sleeping in. The problem? You just end up hating the app and uninstalling it.
We wanted to build something better, so we created AwakenQ. It still forces you out of bed using strict friction (like forcing you to walk to the bathroom and scan a barcode, or solving a math puzzle). BUT, we paired it with positive psychology.
Every time you wake up successfully, you earn XP, build your streak, and level up your companion bear mascot. You actually get rewarded for building a healthy morning routine instead of just being yelled at by your phone.
AwakenQ is officially fully launched on Android. If you want to fix your morning routine, I'd love for you to download it from the Play Store today and let us know what you think before our big Product Hunt launch next week! Link in the comments.

LightsOn turns your real-world activity into a living city.
Every active calorie you burn - walking, running, working out, or just moving through your day - flows straight from Apple Health into your city's battery. Keep it charged and the lights stay on: new residents move in, the streets come alive, and your town grows. Let the battery run dry and the city goes dark - residents pack up and leave.
It's a cozy, idle city builder where YOU are the power plant.
The Apple Watch app is a full companion: check your battery and charge rate, run your factory, even build new buildings and trade energy right from your wrist. There are also complications for your watch face, so your city is always one glance away.
The app is built around the apple watch (with kcal tracking and everything).
Let's see how many residents you can sustain.
FREE & PRIVATE
• Completely free - no ads and no in-app purchases.
• No tracking and no data collection - your health data never leaves your device.
It is just a personal hobby project, but I would love your feedback. And I would love if it even more if it motivates some people to move more, or do more workouts.

Hi,
I would like to share my brand new app, that lets you gain real life rewards for completing your habits, to build stronger and lasting habits.
Why EVORA came to life: I actually wrote habits down on my whiteboard and created a tally which I used to give myself rewards, but all on my whiteboard. I realised, this would be so much better if I can take this, and be able to use it anywhere, so I built EVORA.
How tf is it different!?: I completely understand, so many apps are so similar. EVORA is different because it uses positive reinforcement of guilt free rewards, e.g. spending money or treat calories or gaming hours/mins, as the reward for completing habits. I personally find it really useful and would love to know what you think of it.
How it works?: You create your habits and rank them by difficulty, 1-10, then thats the price in coins. So, very difficult habits rewards you with 10 coins, e.g. going to be before 10pm for me 😃, and easy tasks like brushing my teeth can gain me 1 quick easy coin in the morning (which is always so satisfying).
How shop/rewards work?: You just simply put your reward title, the reward type (e.g. £ or calories or gaming minutes) and how many of the reward type you get (the amount), so a reward could be e.g. £10 / e.g. 100 calories / 30 minutes. Anything can be your reward, because it is chosen by YOU.
If you have been struggling with habits, I really hope EVORA can help you and make the positive impact you need in your life.

Always remember, if anything is wrong or confusing, please message me or leave a comment and I will reply asap. Thanks for reading this, and hopefully trying EVORA to 😃
