The use of game mechanics/dynamics to
                  drive game-liked engagement and actions
                    in non-game environments (e.g. work,
                          education, exercise, etc.)
                                - Michael Wu


Inventing new work and business practices
  that engage employees, customers and
 consumers as effectively as a good game.
            - Jane McGonigal



                   The process of using game thinking and
                   game mechanics to solve problems and
                                engage users.

 ‘This is not a game yet. They should get points for doing this on
   time. You should lose points for not doing this on time. They
  should recognize that they have built an appointment dynamic
              and then consciously leverage the game.'
