Get Things Done And Have Fun Doing It: Epic Win

To-Do lists keep tasks focused, on schedule, and ideally on the path to completion. However, for many, the focus and dedication required to maintain an effective To-Do list can be a task unto itself.

One look at many of the To-Do list apps in the iOS App store, and one can see that many developers are keenly aware of this. So, each tries to set their To-Do list App apart from all the rest by either beautifying it to make chores pleasant to look at, or adding gimmicky gestures to make adding tasks less tedious.

Epic Win is a “gamified” To-Do List application for iOS that turns everyday tasks into epic quests that are conquered rather than simply completed.

Gamification can be found in many of the most popular apps and services today. It can make user interactions compelling and even addictive by offering real-time feedback in the form of points, badges, and rewards. As a result, this effectively turns even the most mundane process into something fun and engaging for a user to experience.

Epic Win cleverly uses this game-like approach at tackling To-Dos to compel the user to revisit the app often and keep adding more To-Dos to the list.

Like a classic RPG Game, it begins with choosing an Avatar to represent you on your To-Do List Adventure. Then, with each task you complete, you earn points, level up your Avatar, and actually get your real-life quests conquered along the way.

While this approach may seem ridiculous and completely unnecessary to some, any positive feedback, even imaginary, can work to reinforce any behavior. Epic Win at its core, is a solid To-Do list application, complete with alarms, reminders, and history of past completed events. It just adds some fun and excitement to something typically not associated with fun or excitement.

Epic Win effectively utilizes its gamified approach to promote completing tasks in a fun and engaging way. While the points received and treasures collected from each completed quest serve as a purely psychological reward, making it fun to shed bad habits, complete tasks, and even become more productive is the real achievement.

EpicWin by supermono limited is available in the iOS App Store for $2.99.
