What We Do

We can create game-like business apps from scratch, add gamification features to existing solutions to boost retention and motivation, and design interventions that encourage users to build new habits or change their usual behaviour patterns.

Gamified Solutions from Scratch

If you’re considering building an app with either explicit gamification (a game with a non-game purpose) or implicit gamification (an app that uses game elements), we’re here to help!
We are responsible for full-cycle development — from shaping your idea and game design to creating a great UI/UX and implementing it across different platforms.

Integration of Gamification Elements

If you already have an app but want to boost user retention, motivation, and achievements, turn your users into brand ambassadors, or just make your app more fun — we are a few clicks away! Gamified elements can be added to your existing product without major changes to its architecture or code.

Behaviour Change Intervention Design

Using a scientific approach can make a big difference for apps that help people change their habits, adopt new behaviours, or improve their lifestyles. We use the COM-B model from UCL to identify the target behaviour, understand people's abilities, opportunities, and motivation, pinpoint key factors for change, and suggest effective interventions.

Industries

While gamification and human-focused design can be applied to any industry, we specialise in those that inspire positive change, promote a healthier, happier lifestyle, or help people learn new skills.

Digital Health

Gamification is a fantastic tool to encourage healthy habits, stay positive, and be consistent with check-ups and medical tests. It can also help motivate children to complete necessary tasks, support rehabilitation after injuries, and much more!

Education

Learning doesn't have to be boring! Gamification can make it more engaging by creating a sense of achievement and progress, motivating regular activities, and making learning fun and memorable. It’s effective for both kids and adult education, helping people collaborate, compete, and enjoy the process of learning.

Our Approach to Gamification
for an Existing App

You don't have to redesign your entire app to take advantage of gamification. By understanding your goals and the experience you want your users to have, we can suggest effective techniques with minimal changes to your product.

Discovery

STEP 1

Introduction and Problem/Goal Definition

To begin, our consultants will work with you to define your end goal with gamification. By clarifying your objectives and challenges early on, we ensure the final solution fulfils your business's needs and drives meaningful results. During this phase, we also run numerous proof of concepts (POCs) to gather comprehensive information, enabling us to approach your challenge from every possible angle.

Design & Development

STEP 2

User Behaviour Analysis & User Engagement Evaluation

Understanding what motivates your customers is paramount. We will assist you in analysing vast amounts of quantitative and qualitative data to make sense of how users interact with your product, what they like and dislike, and how they make decisions. With the insights derived during this phase, our developers will design gamified features that resonate with your users and foster engagement.

STEP 3

Product Design & Hypothesis

Using established gamification principles and the COM-B model for behaviour change, we will create a strategic plan to incorporate elements like leaderboards, badges, tasks, and rewards into your app. Based on user behaviour, we also set specific goals, for example, increasing retention rates or the number of daily active users, and form hypotheses on how these elements will help achieve our objectives.

Validation & Analytics

STEP 4

Development

After we conclude how best to approach your app, we will begin integrating gamified features. We rely on established game and behaviour design principles and the preferred tech stack to weave gamification into your app.

STEP 5

Hypothesis Validation

Post-implementation, our analytics department rigorously measures the impact of our gamification strategy elements against the metrics we defined earlier. By doing so, we assess whether our hypothesis is valid and whether the changes influenced your project's metrics as expected. Depending on the results, we either proceed with the current strategy or make necessary modifications.
