Deepak S Murugesan from our UX Team handled a session on “Levelling Up Life: Gamification for Good” at the CONFIG Watch Party 2025 organized by Friends of Figma Thiruvananthapuram Chapter recently. Deepak explored how gamification, when done right, can become a powerful tool for positive behavioral change and habit building. He discussed the meaning of gamification, why our brains crave rewards, the Octalysis Framework and its 8 core drives, everyday examples of gamification in Indian apps and services, and practical ways to gamify your own life; health, productivity, and even boring chores. Using real-life stories and nostalgic experiences, the discussion connected personal growth to game mechanics, making the concept fun, relatable, and easy to apply.
