Most internal apps focus on “getting the job done.” Games focus on making the next step obvious, progress visible, and feedback rewarding. The good news: those patterns work incredibly well for business apps too.

In this session, i will introduce a working set of game UX patterns that drive adoptionby clear objectives (“quest thinking”), strong feedback states, visible progress, and controlled variety to reduce repetition. For each pattern, i will show a quick before/after example. Then we will build live a small prototype for one of these pattern in Power Apps to show what it takes to translate these ideas into real app behavior and UI—practical, maker-friendly, and immediately reusable.

Expect a session that is equal parts inspiration and implementation: you will leave with patterns you can apply the same day across Microsoft 365 solutions and Power Platform experiences.
