What is Gamification?
Gamification is a UX design pattern that involves incorporating elements of game design into non-game applications or websites to enhance user engagement and create enjoyable experiences. By using game mechanics like points, achievements, competition, and progress-tracking, designers can make mundane tasks more appealing and motivate users to interact with the content or perform certain actions.
