Why Your Product Feels Boring and How Gamification Can Fix It
Briefly

Gamification effectively enhances user engagement and retention in product design. By providing users with small, achievable tasks, they can learn and feel progress daily. Offering varied difficulty levels keeps tasks approachable while rewarding accomplishments with points or badges. Tracking streaks creates urgency, as users are motivated to maintain continuity. These strategies benefit users by building habits while helping businesses increase daily active users and reduce churn.
