Research. I went straight to our community.

Research. I went straight to our community.

And asked users what they wanted, what felt missing, and why they stopped returning.

There was plenty of feedback, so I kept only the most important parts

Results. Players weren’t looking for more tapping. They were looking for meaning behind it.

Key insights ↓

A ranking system to see where they stand

Social mechanics to feel part of something bigger

A sense of competition and superiority

Solution. I introduced global Ranking and Games as the new motivational core.

Rating, Dice Game, Do Nothing Game

This created a simple, powerful loop ↓

frequency

to come back
