“…Several approaches to evaluate a gamification design can be found in the literature. These range from quantitative to qualitative approaches [10,11,16,24,36] [7,10]. Several experts have highlighted that observing user behavior is more effective than interviewing, as users often have problems to describe experiences verbally [I7, I11, I18, I21].…”

“…Further evaluation techniques can be found in the literature. An example is the use of a service quality model to measure the effectiveness of a gamification approach [11]. The surveyed experts stressed that in commissioned work the evaluation is often done in a lean manner or omitted altogether, since often no budget is set aside for the evaluation phase [I15-I17, I21, I22].…”

“…Second, we identified that several methods in previously published literature are not detailed enough to provide sufficient practical guidance (e.g. [5,11,16]). Most experts reported that they not follow a published method since most methods cannot completely cover the complexity that results from the nature of human motivation and the various application areas for gamification [15,20].…”

“…We identified that due to the complexity, the selection of game-design elements and game mechanics is often more creative and brainstorming based in practice, than it is described in current literature [7] (e.g. [11,16,24,27,28,39]). Previously published methods often lack a detailed description of the creative ideation and design phase [5,11,24,27].…”

“…Most of the identified literature on the design of gamification specifically promote the creation of engaging challenges by the use of patterns known form games (e.g. [11,16,22,24,27,28,33,39]). More particular, they argue for the use of gamedesign patterns and mechanics, such as rewards, points, badges, leaderboards or storytelling, as building blocks [27], and assume that the combinations of these elements can invoke engaging challenges and motivate goal-directed behavior (e.g.…”

Gamification, i.e. applying game elements in non-game contexts, is been increasingly used for designing systems and application elements to foster user engagement, enjoyment and support behavior change. Experts agree that, to be efficient, gamification strategies should be designed in a user-centric fashion. However, current user-centered design approaches in gamification primarily involve users during user research and iterative testing. In this paper, we describe an ideation approach for involving users in the conceptualization of gamification, making the gamification design process a more participatory activity, a process done with the user rather then for the user. Our results show that our method fostered participation without confining creativity. Participants were able to generate many ideas, several of them being "out of the box".

Video games have been known to increase the levels of player's motivation. This initiated the emergence of serious games and gamification to exploit game elements and mechanics for increasing the motivation in non-game contexts. The research reported in this paper used psychological theories of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) to design three versions of a game. The first version was based on SDT, the second on SET and the third version was based on a combination of these two theories. The objective is to investigate the impact of each game design on the user motivation and performance. An experiment of playing the games designed with these features was conducted. Surprisingly, the results on the objective evaluation revealed that there is no significant difference among the groups in terms of engagement and performance. Furthermore, these findings were confirmed by the results on the subjective evaluation of player's perceived motivation, which showed no significant difference between the three experimental conditions.
