Gamification involves applying game-like elements—such as points, badges, leaderboards, rewards, and progress tracking—to non-game experiences. It boosts motivation, increases engagement, and encourages repeated user behavior. Companies use gamification in onboarding, training, learning platforms, productivity apps, and marketing campaigns. When done well, it transforms routine tasks into enjoyable experiences and improves user retention.
