When done right, Leaderboards are a powerful gamification tool that can engage your learners. Let’s find out how!
Leaderboards make games fun! Candy Crush wouldn’t be half as addictive, if we didn’t know other players’ scores. Without a little healthy competition, many games would soon become pointless, lonely and pretty boring.
Leaderboards tap into our competitive spirit and act as a powerful engagement tool, driving us to play on! Don’t just take it from us – Microsoft sees leaderboards as such a vital engagement tool, that all of their XBox Live games include the gamification feature. 90% of mobile games also use Leaderboards to keep players coming back for more. Developers, Game Sparks, go so far as to crown leaderboards ‘the original and best social feature!’
