If games are so engaging...
…we can use this kind of thinking to make other
things more engaging!

Gamification is an established industry

Bi!ion in 2015 to $11.10 Bi!ion by 2020” http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/gamification-market-991.html

Good usability and engagement is a necessary condition for survival
Usability
Adapted from http://www.nngroup.com/articles/usability-101-introduction-to-usability/ People will leave if… 1. Your design
is difficult to use 2. If it is unclear what it offers 3. If it’s easy to get lost
