Octalysis Gamification Workshop
Yu-kai Chou was voted by his peers at the Gamification Europe conference as Gamification Guru of the Year for 2017 — one of the field’s most recognized honors, awarded by fellow practitioners.
Yu-kai excels at sharing knowledge about human-focused design through the Octalysis Framework and its 8 Core Drives of human motivation, helping experience designers use the Octalysis Strategy Dashboard, Power-Ease Feature List, and Battleplan to manage, design, and implement motivational design projects. Workshop attendees learn hands-on how Core Drive 2: Development & Accomplishment and Core Drive 5: Social Influence & Relatedness underpin effective behavioral design.
This workshop was held in spring of 2018 in Hungary.
It covered the foundations of the Octalysis Framework before going into the practical application of Octalysis to workshop attendee projects.
