## **Using gamification to collect valuable data**

Collecting data is essential to understanding users and improving services. Gamification makes this process more engaging, encouraging users to share information voluntarily and in a fun way.

According to the Casual Games Report H1 2025 by AppMagic, games that include interactive personalisation mechanics see profile completion rates 40% higher than experiences without playful interaction. This principle can be applied in marketing, events, and education.

## **Integrate questions into the game**

Instead of asking for data through a traditional form, embed it directly into a gamified experience.

Practical examples

- Personalised quiz: answers are used to recommend a product or service.
- Selection mini-game: choose preferences via images or icons.
- Interactive scenario: progress through a story by providing certain information.

## **Reward completion**

Offering a reward for completing a profile or form motivates users to provide more information.

Practical examples

- “100% Profile” badge visible on a user account.
- Extra points in a loyalty program.
- Early access to content or a feature.

## **Use the data to personalise the experience**

Data collected through gamification can be used to offer tailored content or deals.

Practical examples

- Sports app: adapt challenges based on declared fitness level.
- E-commerce site: display products matching stated preferences.
- Event platform: recommend talks or workshops based on answers provided.
