There are many definitions for the term, but the most generally adopted is: “gamification is the use of game design elements (such as badges, points and leaderboards) in non-game contexts” (Deterding et al.) [1]. Its verb is “to gamify”.
The positive connotations of gamification are promoted mainly by professionals who provide the ‘gamification services’ for the business industry or by the business industry itself; be it in marketing a product (e.g., through loyalty programs), gamifying a website or inside the work-place in order to increase productivity. They talk about a ‘ludic age’ and the ‘generation G’, and also advocate that gamification is a way of turning a boring task at work or the purchase of products, as well as actions for good health (e.g. Nike Fuel and Weight Watchers) into more fun and engaging activities, thereby helping people to accomplish what they want or need to do in a fun way.
