Then, we looked at how you can best combine multiple game mechanics to ensure you are providing a good mix of short-term and long-term goals. Lastly, we drilled in to some specific examples, such as leaderboards, achievements, and badges. How do they keep players coming back? How can we combine them to provide an even stronger retention?
