Autonomy: giving users or “players” a sense of being in charge so they stick to their goalsValue: motivating players with an appealing reward that is relevant to the specific individualCompetence: encouraging users to keep playing by allowing them to get better at the game
Two factors are also needed to increase motivation:
Extrinsic motivation is a combination of perks, benefits and discounts. Foursquare is an app that allows people to check in at their location and earn badges such “Mayor” and recognition. The game’s mechanics, which include recognizing achievements and encouraging competition, make it interesting and very popular.

It teaches us about the importance of insurance and pushes us to get the policy.
