New Video Show: The Beginner’s Guide to Gamification (1 of 90)
Some friends have recommended me to make a video show on Gamification and so I decided to start a Video Guide that shares everything I know about Gamification.
This is a video series where I talk about all the aspects game mechanics and fun stuff of Gamification.It will involve 90 episodes, each lasting between 5-10 minutes.
Above is the first video, which includes:
- Intro
- Objectives of the Guide
- Yu-kai’s Qualification
- Brief intro on what is Gamification
- Example of how Games make kids hardcore grunt workers
- How Gamification is a booming field
- Rules to his Keyword Collection Game and a Weight Loss plan
As you can see in the video, I made a variety of experiments to make the guide a bit more playful (and random).
Look forward to Feedback!
Get mentored by Yu-kai Chou
Every week I hop on a conference call to teach, answer questions, and give feedback to members of Octalysis Prime. If you want to take your Gamification practice to the next level, then come join us.
Excited to get started! Thank you for this awesome resource!
Haha I really enjoy the video!! Thank you Yu-kai! I am super excited to start this journey with you as the capitan!. Greetings from Costa Rica 😀
This is my second time of watching this video. I can’t get a enough of it. It’s fun!
This is a cool genuine comment though haha 😀
AAA. At last=) Thanks Yu-kai! This video is a great start for new people to Gamification!
I actually watched the first episode 3 times already with different people. Your efforts in this area are really great! Please, PLEASE finish all 90 episodes as promised=) May the will to do so be with you!
Wow! Super excited to start my gamification journey with you Yu-kai. Looking for ways to use it in education and student-directed goals.
Why does my comment fade away?=(
I am only at the beginning here and maybe because i am a gamer myself I am very excited about your vision, i can see some much potential in what have been done and what can still be done.
I have a lot of questions for you, but first… i have 89 more videos to go.
Haha, have fun. I’m only at 20 myself too 😉
It was an almost first time I was shard to quit watching video. Seems gameification works
Haha, I’m glad! 🙂
also I love the game below to prove you are a human! much easier and more exciting than typing a distorted phrase that is often difficult to read
Haha – thanks! Normal Captcha’s are very annoying…
add more videos! I’m rewatching the first 20 as review
Haha – working on it!
I am excited to begin watching your videos and will be attending your webinar next week!
Have you still be using the things you have learned at the workshop? 🙂
great kick off!
The beginning of this course was really excellente 🙂
I’m brazilian and I work at a NGO that support low income entrepreneurs in our country (www.aliancaempreendedora.org.br).
One of our projects is focus on Young people and we are designed some things based on Gamification to improve our impact and to develop more young entrepreneurs in all Brazil!
Thank you very much!
I like the funny stuff you are doing during the video.
Love the video style and so many different location love that
I am tasked with increasing employee engagement at my company, with a specific emphasis on training and development. I’m getting lots of great ideas from your site, and I am also experimenting with CaptainUp! to see how it might work as a demo or POC to show to my C-level leadership.
Thank you for this great introduction to Gamification, I’m more concerned about its use in education, but fortunately, as a whole, gamification can be used in any scenario.
Your video style is a reward in itself!
By far a lot more interesting and entertaining than Udemy. Well done!
I’d be interested in knowing how you wrote the Gamification architecture of the course. Next to writing the script and screenplay (which must have been huge undertakings!), I am a amazed in how many Gamification concepts you have managed to incorporate in the videos (and I have only seen two today).
Can you lift the veil a little and let me have a peek? 😉
1st word in, 49 to go
2nd video in, 88 to go

kensavage Hope you are an Octalysis expert now! 😀
Brenda Cardenas Yupyup!
Ashok Maharaj Haha, I try to be humbly arrogant 😉
bruno_jenyffer Thank YOU sir 😉
RichWallace Thanks a lot! I’ll try to keep up the creative work! (Even though paid work has been overwhelming me these days…)
Hope all is well!
Hi Yu-Kai, starting the videos.
I like the point on the dedication and thought process of games players in terms of leveling up and wider goal. There is a great example I heard years ago regarding a janitors contribution to NASAs goals see http://dcstevens1.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/man-on-the-moon/.
The point being, I am really fascinated on being connected to a greater purpose (Epic Meaning and Calling) as its to easy in large companies to lose sight of our purpose and our contribution to it. A lot of research GALLUP http://bit.ly/GFMmwe etc is showing that employee engagement is very low and I really am focused on how gamification and motivational design can change this!
Liked the fun side to this video so hopefully that continues 😉
Rich.
Very interesting video! Thanks
You are quite humble, given the fact you have achieved so much!!! Way to go….
I’m learning a lot here….I’m complementing yours with Kevin Werbach.
Great video!! only 89 to go!!
Interesting to follow this video series. Thanks Yu-Kai
HA! I knew I could trick you into watching the entire thing! 😛
You know, I actually watched the ENTIRE video.
Best video you’ve made thus far 🙂
