Since 2010, gamification has started being popularized as the next big thing. But it is not simply replicating game elements to manipulate the target audience. The key is to drive engagement and actions. Companies need to deeply appreciate the characteristics of the people and the culture, develop suitable playing fields and game mechanics, and design idealized user experience.
