Abstract

In this paper we want to describe the possibility to introduce game mechanics within the methodologies commonly used in the evaluations of interactive systems. Through the set up of a "gamified user field test" we intended to show how it is possible to increase the engagement and self-motivation of people that take part in evaluation activities.
