“…However, the quiz cannot enhance any information of the physical exhibition. While previous research [47], [48], [49] asserted that Gamification can enhance students' learning experiences in school and university. These are inconsistent with our results that this may also be used in different contexts of exhibition in public space and museum settings.…”

The concept of gamification is to apply game-design elements and game principles in nongame contexts. Applying this concept in interactive exhibitions has enormous potential to attract visitors and improve their fun level, engagement, and learning. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the case study in which we applied gamification in two types of physical and online digital interactive exhibitions, both in the form of short events. The case study was conducted using gamified exhibition for both physical and online digital environments. We implemented the Game-trip which consisted of two parts: a physical exhibition of an interactive map and a digital online application. We also carried out a user study at the Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre. We evaluated the user study by collecting qualitative and quantitative visitor behavior data from online survey questionnaires, and we also used user behavior data and semi-structured interview. The results suggest that the physical interactive exhibition provides engagement and fun but does not support learning goals.

“…After building the virtual environment of the academic library in the Unity game engine, the next step was to implement the gamification concept to enhance engagement and motivation to participate in our virtual library. 38 We established four gamified services (Library Orientation, Research Support, Book Borrowing, and Technology Services), we included gamification elements such as a leaderboard, points system, level up, and badges in the profile after finishing the tasks, as shown in figure 3. The overview of gamified services is shown in table 1.…”

This paper investigates the potential of the Gamified Metaverse as a platform for promoting library services. The study compares the effectiveness of a traditional library program with a Metaverse-based library program in terms of knowledge acquisition and library anxiety. The research also examines students’ perceptions of implementing gamification within the context of the Gamified Metaverse platform. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, including pre- and post-test analysis, statistical analysis, and qualitative data collection. The results indicate that both the traditional and Metaverse-based library programs effectively increased the participants’ knowledge, with no significant difference between the two approaches. However, the Metaverse-based program was found to be less effective in facilitating interaction with librarians and reducing library anxiety. Additionally, students expressed positive perceptions of implementing gamification in the Gamified Metaverse platform, finding it engaging and motivating. These findings contribute to the understanding of the effect of the Metaverse as a tool for promoting library services and enhancing knowledge acquisition. However, it is not as effective in reducing library anxiety, particularly in terms of interaction with librarians and staff. It should be noted that the platform may have limitations such as high costs and potential side effects of virtual reality, making it more suitable as an additional tool for promoting library services, taking into account its feasibility and potential benefits for specific student populations and larger libraries.

“…Nevertheless, without a clear idea on which tower should be checked first, confusion among participants may occur. It is critical that every participant stays in the Flow Zone [29] without hesitating about the direction of running Time pressure. It refers to a specific limitation that requires the player to finish a route in a specified period of time [30].…”

This work proposes designing and implementing a method for the gamification application of Fun Run events in order to promote physical activity. The application transforms the standard Fun Run which is normally included as a side event called “The gaming Fun Run” to marathon events designed for people who are interested in either gamified applications or their health allowing them to playand run at the same time. The application was used during the event called “The Run Fest“ to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the opening of Chiang Mai University's College of Arts, Media, and Technology. Based on the results of satisfaction questionnaires, the 701 participants, including 339 males and 362 females, were pleased and motivated to engage in physical activities. In addition, it can be concluded that running newcomers, 380 people, or 54.20% of all participants, were attracted to attend the running event and were able to complete the route, indicating that it was a successful promotion that enhances physical activity and health among newcomers in running through the application of gamification.
