Gamification and UX Design

Games in the early days were supposed to be kid’s fun thing. But as the time passed by games are no more considered as the mindless fun thing. The games today have become so addictive that the users would play them for hours and wouldn’t get bored. Game developers use some techniques to engage users with their games. The correct term used for these techniques is “Gamification”. It can be defined as the non-game processes or applications used from game design mechanics to engage users i.e. enhancing user experience.
