Habit Design SF #11: Gamification vs. Behavior-Change Games
Details
Come hear about the pros & cons of "gamification" from both the designer and user perspective as it relates to building sustainable habits beyond 100 days. Based on your RSVP responses, we'll invite some gamification solutions (if available) to briefly present their design process and share our personal experiences in having used or tested them prior to the event (as we did with Tiny Habits last time). Thanks to our wonderful hosts, Adaptive Path, for their hosting us again! http://img2.meetupstatic.com/22767092636416291949197/img/smileys/love.gif
When you RSVP, please answer the brief survey so that we can determine which solutions people are interested in discussing and inviting!
Meantime if you're interested in some background reading, Michael gave an interview for Stanford on the "Behavior-Change Games" genre (http://www.motivateplay.com/2012/08/behavior-change-gaming-an-interview-with-michael-kim-ceo) which he, Nike, Jane McGonigal, Hopelabs, BJ Fogg, and others introduced last year. He'll also be presenting on the same topic that day (10/9) at the Health2.0 Conferenc (http://www.health2con.com/events/conferences/san-francisco-fall-2012/#agenda)e.
Hope to see you there!
