influence the success of a product, and gamification is one purposed method which is expected to improve the user experience. But actually, whether gamification can provide benefits to increase user experience has not explicitly been explained before. This study purpose identifies the benefits implementation gamification for improving the user experience. To achieve the objectives, this study conducts the systematic literature review that summarized all the studies required in Gamification and User experience context. This study has discovered 539 papers and do three steps to select primary studies through kitchenham method with the results of the first stage is 314 research papers. Then, for the 2nd stage find 50 papers, and finally, the 3rd stage finds 16 best papers. During a systematic literature review, the study is a variety approach depends on two clustered such as intangible and tangible benefits. This study identified gamification have positive intangible and tangible benefits for improving the user experience.

“…While there is a large body of research on the user experience of digital games, research endeavors that specifically paid attention to the user experience of boardgames is more sparse. Besides research on how (board)games could be used in research and design [24][25][26], mainly new technological advances have been explored, e.g., new devices and tools to augment physical boardgames [18,27]. Other research has also looked into the requirements and design aspects of augmented tabletop games [28] as well as into the different strategies of adaptation of digital and non-digital instantiation of commercial boardgames [29].…”

Conventional digital and remote forms of play lack the physicality associated with analog play. Research on the materiality of boardgames has highlighted the inherent material aspects to this analog form of play and how these are relevant for the design of digital play. In this work, we analyze the inherent material qualities and related experiences of boardgames, and speculate how these might shift in remote manifestations. Based on that, we depict three lenses of designing for remote tangible play: physicality, agency, and time. These lenses present leverage points for future designs and illustrate how the digital and the physical can complement each other following alternative notions of hybrid digital–physical play. Based on that, we illustrate the related design space and discuss how boardgame qualities can be translated to the remote space, as well as how their characteristics might change. Thereby, we shed light on related design challenges and reflect on how designing for shared physicality can enrich dislocated play by applying these lenses.

“…The first game (Slegers et al, 2015) was part of a research project aiming to develop a proof-of-concept of a new train information system (TIS). Since a core element of the new TIS concerned the proactive presentation of relevant information to individual train passengers, we wanted to understand which questions occupy train passengers’ minds during different phases of a train journey.…”

“…Adding this playful element enhanced both participants’ involvement and the amount of data collected with cultural probes. Also early in the design process, Slegers, Ruelens, Vissers, and Duysburgh (2015), created a board game for train passengers that was loosely based on game elements from THE GAME OF LIFE, MONOPOLY and THE GAME OF THE GOOSE. During the game, players could ask questions to a mockup of a future train information system.…”

Background. Several HCI researchers have started to use game design elements in their research to create playful methods for involving end-users in design. Similar to serious games, such research games serve a dual purpose: 1) to create an enjoyable experience for research participants, and 2) to collect user insights to inform the design process. Aim. We propose that the Serious Game Design Assessment (SGDA) Framework, that evaluates both a game’s enjoyable purposes and its serious purposes, may be a valuable tool in assessing and developing research games. In this article, we apply the SGDA Framework to three existing research games, one involving train passengers in assessing potential future user experiences, one involving hospital staff in ideation for wearable technology, and one involving TV viewers in ideation for future video watching scenarios. Conclusion. The assessment of the three research games suggests that the framework is indeed applicable to research games and may, as such, provide HCI researchers with clear guidance when creating new research games.
