Christmas is almost on us and it feels like a great reminder (again) about the dangers of Over Justification Effect!
Whatever your beliefs, it is easy to get wrapped up in one aspect of Christmas – getting presents. It seems that to some it is a right for surviving another year, their reward for not going postal, a pat on the back for being a decent human.
However, those are the extrinsic rewards that hook us into Christmas. They are not the real meaning of Christmas. Consider it from a RAMP perspective.Read More ...
As we hit Christmas, I just wanted to wish you the best of times and hope that the coming months are safe for you all.
You will see more of me next year as I finally have more to say about gamification and the world surrounding it.
In the mean time, here are a couple of things to play with. First – my Choose Your Own Gamification Definition page – https://www.gamified.uk/gdef/index.htm
Also, don’t forget to treat yourself to all my downloadables for just £10 – that’s about £100 worth of stuff for £10!Read More ...
How do gamification folk! You all ready for Christmas?
So a very short blog, you may have noticed I’ve taken it a bit easier this year, everyone deserves a break 😀
Being Silly
It sounds very unbusinesslike, but it is so important just to do things for fun from time to time. I’ve spoken about Easter Eggs in the past, but I wanted to just briefly revisit them.
Easter Eggs are a reward for people who want to explore deeper than most would. I firmly believe that you should try to include them whenever you can, even if there is a risk people will never find them! It’s like an encore from a band. There is always the risk that people will never see it.
Make them silly, make them fun and make people smile and feel that it was worth the effort of finding them.
So for instance. If you know THE cheat code, it may or may not do something on this site 😉
Christmas Sale
If you don’t have it already, I have dropped the Full Monkey Bundle (as I have just decided to call it) to £20. This is the Gamification Design Tool Kit, Inspiration Cards and Even Ninja Monkeys Like to Play: Unicorn Edition as a downloadable package – bargain!
You can grab it here until the 2nd of January 🙂 [purchase_link id=”7087″ style=”button” color=”red” text=”The Full Monkey” direct=”true”]
Just thought I would share the video of my talk on loyalty and Christmas turkey from Gamification World Congress 2015

To give some context for the start – Bart Briers had just described me as The King of Gamification! At the end, I also caught him out as the talk was only 12 minutes long 😉
If you are interested in Gamification World Congress 2016, head over to their new website – you won’t be sorry and there are loads of videos from the last one to watch.
If you want to learn more about loyalty, you could always grab my book from Amazon 🙂
