Turn a boring routine into something people want to do.
Led by Yuen Yen Tsai, this session shows you how game mechanics like points, progress and feedback loops turn a chore into something people choose to finish.
Before you book
Two minutes on what the session actually covers and who it's for.
The problem
You've built a process, a habit, a training or an onboarding flow that people should complete. Most of them start it and quietly never finish.
People will click through a mandatory task without ever caring about it. The drop-off shows regardless.
Without feedback or progress, even useful routines lose their pull after the first try.
Well-designed games keep people coming back for years. Most workplace processes were never designed at all.
If you've ever built something useful that nobody sticks with, this is the session that shows you why.
The core idea
Borrow what games get right.
Gamification 101 takes the mechanics that make games addictive: points, progress, feedback and challenge, then shows you how to apply them honestly to a real routine without turning it into a gimmick.
How it works
The 90 minutes are the middle. What happens either side is what makes them stick.
No pre-work worksheet. Watch the two-minute intro above if you like, then just show up ready to think about your own routine or process.
Optional, before the sessionYuen Yen Tsai walks you through the core mechanics of gamification and how to apply them to a real process, live, so you leave with a design you can actually use.
