Building Power Apps like Duolingo: Drive Adoption with Game UX Patterns

Most Power Apps fail for one simple reason: they feel like forms. not like products people want to return to.

In this session, we’ll borrow proven UX/UI patterns from gaming and consumer apps like Duolingo to turn “one-and-done” Power Apps into experiences that users actually enjoy using.
You’ll learn a practical engagement toolkit: progression systems, clear goals, feedback loops, micro-rewards, streak mechanics, onboarding quests, and UI patterns that reduce friction while increasing motivation. We’ll translate these patterns into real Power Apps design decisions—what to show, when to show it, how to guide users, and how to make success feel visible.
Expect concrete examples, do’s & don’ts, and a “pattern library” you can apply immediately—without turning your business app into a toy.
