Here are all the Episodes of the Gamification Video Guide: The Beginner’s Guide to Gamification
I’ve seen quite a few Gamification Video Courses online these days, but all the ones I have seen are extremely boring AND they lack in deepness. A few of them spread the net very wide and people understand gamification better but not how to apply it.
This is my attempt (and hobby) of making an entertainment video lecturer course, while packing in some advanced gamification techniques, concepts, and examples. The reason why I call it the “Beginner’s Guide” to Gamification, even though it is more advanced than many “expert certification” courses, is because I believe we are all still students in this vast field of Gamification. The industry is just at its beginning, and 10 years later, we would be amazed about how little we knew right now. My goal is to be the pioneer of beginner’s and share all the stuff I have learned!
While 90 Episodes sound like a lot (especially to make…), 900 minutes is less than a semester’s worth of lecturers, and you get it for free (companies and organizations pay me thousands of dollars for this), so you should rejoice and jump for joy right now.

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.
Great introduction to my favorite Core Drive! Or is it creativity? Or development? I can’t choose!
Thanks
Hi Yu-kai,
very good videos, inspiring… thank you! I ll make something out of it and share with you guys… 😉
Cheers
Torsten
Good Information
robpenner I just roughly thought about what to cover and rounded it up to 90 episodes.
How did you come up with the number 90 for the length of your video series?
Episode 15 is mentioned twice, I think the last one should point to the latest Episode 16..!
@Meir Gabay Thanks for your encouragement. It means a lot to me. Hopefully I can reduce shaking too at one point, but I will continue to share my knowledge and experience 😀
Yukai Chou, just wanted you to know that I’m currently developing and app and I’ve been told by many sources that I need to learn “gamification” – I had no idea what it means.
Thanks to these videos I really got the picture and I must say that I don’t lose focus for a second because of the terrain changing in your videos, keeps my attention very high.
So again, many thanks for this guide and I’m looking forward for your next videos!
Meir Gabay, Israel !
Silvio Santos Junior FrederikAggeRonex A little help: http://www.yukaichou.com/octalysis.html
Silvio Santos Junior FrederikAggeRonex You’re welcome 🙂
I’m also working on an analysis as well to get a certificate and a nice little helping tool for this is the Octalysis tool that Yu-kai just launched (as currently shown in the orange news bar at the top of the page).
Here’s a link to it: http://www.yukaichou.com/octalysis.html
You’re welcome 🙂
I’m working on an analysis as well to get the certificate as well 🙂
A little helping tool that Yu-kai just launced (as currently shown in The orange news feed above) is a tool that helps you fill out the visual presentations of the analysis:

FrederikAggeRonex Silvio Santos Junior Thanks, man! I really appreciate that! I’m starting it tonight!
Thanks!
Silvio
Silvio Santos Junior In one of the video guide videos Yu-kai shares a secret e-mail adress not to be found anywhere else.
What you can use this for is that if you’ve made an Octalysis analysis, you can send it to him on this e-mail adress and he’ll look at it and if done right, he will send you an Octalysis certificate! 😀
Glad to found this! I’m starting a huge project of gamifying some of our marketing actions here in Informa Brazil… this will be of great help! Thank you! Do you have a certification course? If not, can you suggest one?
Thanks from Brazil!
Best regards,
Silvio Junior
JoseManuelRodriguez Sounds great! I’m learning a bit of Spanish right now! Look forward to Octalysis and Human-Focused Design knowledge be spread in Spain!
Yu-kai Chou SonnySpeaksOut bruno_jenyffer Put me up for a copy as well! 😀
This is awsome. I’m starting up gamifiying my department in Spain. I’ll be happy to extend your knowledge to Spanish!
SonnySpeaksOut Yu-kai Chou bruno_jenyffer It will be titled Actionable Gamification – Beyond Points, Badges, and Leaderboards. My second book (who knows when) will be titled 10,000 Hours of Play
thirtytwofeet You are welcome! It’s literally my pleasure!
this is super helpful – thanks for sharing sir!
Yu-kai Chou bruno_jenyffer Wow way to go! add me in for a signed copy of that book 🙂 what’s the title? Yu-Kai Chou – Gameon!
bruno_jenyffer Yu-kai Chou Another option if it’s because you want to read it on the go without network, you can use an app like Pocket.
I use it frequently 🙂
bruno_jenyffer Haha, unfortunately, that does not exist. I am working on a book though that hopefully will come out beginning of next year!
I’d like to read some of your articles in PDF. Where do I find them? Thank you so much.Yu-kai Chou
Yu-kai Chou no biggie!
StijnDeCat fixed – thanks so much for noticing that! 😀
Yu-kai Chou It now points to a page about the framework, but not to the video, the video page is http://www.yukaichou.com/gamification-video-course/beginners-guide-gamification-4-90-gamification-framework-octalysis/
Looking forward to getting through these videos! Awesome content Yu-kai.
joshscorrar Thanks for the comment Josh! Hope all is well with you and feel free to reach out to me for anything 😀
where are all the rest of the vids ?
shacharoz Still making them, haha. Got a bunch of work too 😉
Yu-kai Chou shacharoz really? i thought you made them years ago… 🙂
anyway, good luck and i’m waiting to hear more (and i’m really surprised that i’m saying this on your type of movies… 😉
Yu-kai Chou p.s. is there anyway that i can sign up to be updated when you upload new chapters? i got to 11.
shacharoz Thanks a lot!
shacharoz Hmm, I think the best way is to subscribe by email on the right top that says ,”subscribe via email” and get notices whenever I update a new blogpost – which will of course include the video series!
Yu-kai Chou shacharoz funny that i didnt see it by now… 🙂
shacharoz Yu-kai Chou Haha, no worries. That happens to best of us 😀
Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know that the link to video 4 doesn’t work. Although this: “Oh no! These pages don’t exist, but Yu-kai Chou does. Check out these other posts or just stay awesome.” is very funny, I’d prefer your video in this case 😉
MichelleAndreassen Thanks a lot for the feedback! I just updated so it should now be correct 😉
