TLDR
A definition of "gamification" is proposed as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts and it is suggested that "gamified" applications provide insight into novel, gameful phenomena complementary to playful phenomena.Abstract:
Recent years have seen a rapid proliferation of mass-market consumer software that takes inspiration from video games. Usually summarized as "gamification", this trend connects to a sizeable body of existing concepts and research in human-computer interaction and game studies, such as serious games, pervasive games, alternate reality games, or playful design. However, it is not clear how "gamification" relates to these, whether it denotes a novel phenomenon, and how to define it. Thus, in this paper we investigate "gamification" and the historical origins of the term in relation to precursors and similar concepts. It is suggested that "gamified" applications provide insight into novel, gameful phenomena complementary to playful phenomena. Based on our research, we propose a definition of "gamification" as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts.read more

Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World
TL;DR: McGonigal et al. as mentioned in this paper found that games benefit us mentally and emotionally when we play up to 3 hours a day, or 21 hours a week, and that if we spend all our time competing with others, we miss out on the special benefits of co-op play.

Toward a Theory of Intrinsically Motivating Instruction
TL;DR: A rudimentary theory of intrinsically motivating instruction is developed, based on three categories: challenge, fantasy, and curiosity, which suggests that cognitive curiosity can be aroused by making learners believe their knowledge structures are incomplete, inconsistent, or unparsimonious.
