In this talk, Lennart will explain how game thinking works as a problem-solving strategy and provide practical takeaways for designers who are interested in using game thinking in their UX process. He will also talk about his most recent research into gameful design, player types, and surveys and heuristics to assess gamification.

- 7. GameThinking as a Player Journey Your users needs and goals change over time. Know their journey and design with the journey in mind. 7Players Journey By Amy Jo Kim, see http://amyjokim.com/blog/2014/04/08/the-players-journey/ Your users learn your systems as a visitor first, then a newcomer, a regular, and finally they become experts or enthusiasts. Build a core learning loop first as a simple version of the regular user experience you are creating.

Wehbe, Lisa Diamond, Marc Busch, Andrzej Marczewski, and Lennart E. Nacke. 2016. The Gamification User Types Hexad Scale. In Proceedings of CHI PLAY ’16, 229–243.
- 14. THE USERTYPES HEXAD SCALE FOR GAMIFICATION • Philanthropists are motivated by purpose. They are altruistic and willing to give without expecting a reward. • Socialisers are motivated by relatedness. They want to interact with others and create social connections. • Achievers are motivated by competence. They seek to progress within a system by completing tasks, or prove themselves by tackling difficult challenges. • Free Spirits are motivated by autonomy, meaning freedom to express themselves and act without external control. They like to create and explore within a system. • Players are motivated by extrinsic rewards. They will do whatever to earn a reward within a system, independently of the type of the activity. • Disruptors are motivated by the triggering of change. They tend to disrupt the system either directly or through others to force negative or positive changes. They like to test the system‘s boundaries and try to push further. 14 Gustavo F.

- 16. BEYOND BARTLE: FIXING BRAINHEX PLAYERTYPES • Published BrainHex in 2014, but the analysis was flawed • Invalid model, even though it became highly popular and well-cited • Revisited the data in 2015 with my research team • First fixing attempt in 2018: • Gustavo Fortes Tondello, Deltcho Valtchanov, Adrian Reetz, Rina R. Wehbe, Rita Orji & Lennart E. Nacke (2018): Towards a Trait Model of Video Game Preferences, International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, DOI: 10.1080/10447318.2018.1461765 • Next attempt in 2019: • Just accepted into INTERACT 2019: Tondello et al.: “I don’t fit into a single type”: A Trait Model and Scale of Game Playing Preference
- 17. FROM 7 NON-VALIDTYPESTO 5TRAITS 7 types collapsed into: action orientation (Conqueror, Daredevil), later became challenge orientation aesthetic orientation (Socializer, Seeker) goal orientation (Mastermind, Achiever, Survivor) Suggested additions: social orientation immersion orientation (later became narrative orientation) New names for the 5 player traits 1. Aesthetic orientation 2. Narrative orientation 3. Goal orientation 4. Social orientation 5. Challenge orientation Gustavo F. Tondello, Karina Arrambide, Giovanni Ribeiro, Andrew Cen, and Lennart E.

- 19. OUR GAMEFUL EXPERIENCE MODEL • Gameful experience as fundamental state of gameplay • Gameful systems defined by qualities of interventions and environments that create gameful experiences • Gameful design is the process of creating these systems • Gamefulness is then: designer actions, system characteristics, or the user’s psychological experience Richard N. Landers, Gustavo F. Tondello, Dennis L. Kappen, Andrew Collmus, Elisa D. Mekler, and Lennart E. Nacke. 2019. Defining Gameful Experience as a Psychological State Caused by Gameplay: Replacing the Term ‘Gamefulness’ with Three Distinct Constructs.

- 20. Take Home Message • Game Thinking is an approach to solve problems playfully with iterative design • Powerful free scales are available for personalized gamification now and should be used instead of outdated or inaccurate or proprietary models (like Bartle) • With gameful heuristics, we can assess gameful elements rapidly • We have a better understanding than ever about gameful experience and gameful design 20
