Gamification has taken over digital education, but is it really as effective as it seems? Research shows that while gamification can initially boost engagement through rewards and competition, its effects often fade over time. However, when personalized to the learner, gamification can be a powerful tool for improving financial literacy.

EVERFI Achieve doesn’t rely on traditional gamification mechanics like points and badges. Instead, it incorporates engagement-driven gamification elements that support progression, behavioral reinforcement, habit formation, and intrinsic motivation. These features help users stay engaged, complete their learning pathways, and apply their knowledge to real-world financial decisions.
