How games hack your brain and hook you 😲 (Read caption) ⬇️

Rewards & Reinforcement: Getting rewards makes
your brain want to keep playing.

Flow State: Being involved deeply makes
your brain lose track of time.

Cognitive Load Theory: Games are designed
to be just complex enough to be interesting
but not too hard.

Chunking: Information & tasks in game are
broken down into small, manageable parts.

Feedback Loops: You get constant feedback,
which motivates you to improve.

Visual and Spatial Perception: Games are
visually appealing to make you feel immersed.

Problem-Solving & Strategy: Games challenge
you to think and plan, keeping you hooked.

Intermittent Rewards: Rewards are given
out at random intervals to keep the
excitement alive.

Achievement & Progression: Players feel
a sense of accomplishment as they progress.

Player Autonomy & Agency: You get the
freedom to make choices that affect the game.

interact with others, creating a community feeling.

Addressing Feedback: Games evolve based on
players suggestions, making you feel heard.
