Fun user experiences take
advantage of gesture-based
interactions native to the
device.
Responsive feedback,
vibrations, color changes
and audio cues, add to
the excitement of a
fun user experience.
Empower users by giving
them choices and the
ability to customize simple
elements, to engage them
more deeply.
The ability to view progress
against a larger community,
inspires competition and
further motivates end-users.
Fun user experiences should
use push notifications and
alerting capabilities native to
the device, to invite users to
re-engage.
Relevant and robust reward
systems should provide
enough incentive to inspire
users to want to achieve
objectives and re-engage.Achieving progressively
harder goals, or conquering
unique challenges, is what
motivates users to engage in
an ongoing basis.
