What is Gamification?

Gamification is the process of applying game design elements — such as points, badges, levels, or leaderboards — to non-game contexts (like education, business, or fitness apps) to make activities more engaging and motivating.

Example:

Duolingo uses streaks, points, and levels to encourage users to learn languages every day.
