new features, new
groups of users, etc.
Information about users’:
habits, motivators,
frequency of usage,
devices, favourite app
features, results, etc.

9. Gather – Analyze – Adjust

10. Gather Analyze Adjust
Information about users,
especially their:
• habits
• what motivates them in
the short and long term
• frequency of usage
• devices they are using
• favourite app features
• results
• etc.
We uses data from:
• Google Analytics adjusted
for the particular project
• System/app statistics
• Google play & AppStore
statistics
Our team includes:
• Business Analytics
• Creative Gamification
Designers
• IT Consultants and more
That combination results in
small changes in the
mechanics that may:
• improve gamification
experience
• strengthen interaction
between the solution
and its users
• create more ways of
play adjusted to
particular users
Behavioural analysis

11. Hidden treasure

12. Let them compete!
In GA we observed that the leaderboard was
the second most popular part of the application
and the most time-consuming one. In response
we increased possibilities of competition
between users.
Improvements: educational duels
Result: frequency of usage of the app increased
from a few times per week to a few times per
day.
Project goal: to make program members use
the app at least once or twice per week to
build brand awareness.

13. More accessible
Owing to system statistics and statistics from GA
we observed that users like reading
educational articles. There are also specific
rush hour for that activity.
Improvements: knowledge base, adjustment of
timing for notifications connected with
educational articles.
Result: number of articles read and time spent
on it increased.
Project goal: increase open and
conversion rate.

14. Game I like
Owing to system statistics and information from
in-app survey, we could identify which tasks
(mechanics, content) are the most attractive to
our users.
Improvements: focus on specific mechanics
and content in tasks.
Result: higher number of attempts to solve a
tasks and increased time of a single web session.
Project goal: the more people make an
attempt to solve a task, the larger the
knowledge about product offer they will
have, to buy particular products.

15. More social
Owing to system statistics we noticed that virtual
assets like badges are the best features that
encourage users buy additional products,
share information via Social media and more.
Improvements: adding more badges,
introduction of combo-badges.
Result: increase in purchases of particular
products and constant high users’ activity on
Social media.
Project goal: increase in purchases, boost of
viral potential, creation of
Brand Ambassadors.

17. Well-designed gamification can achieve defined business goals.
Combined with behavioral analysis, it can enlarge results and
strengthen interaction with target groups.
