Location-based games can be used to bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds. FourSquare with its badges, mayorships and league tables has already demonstrated its value as a platform for building loyalty and engagement with customers.

Games are designed to be fun so many organizations are looking to gaming to create a positive link with their brands. One way to approach this is by rewarding desired behavior such as taking medicine correctly or going to the gym. On a more superficial level, it is possible to design games that are simply there to provide a fun experience based on the brand that will build a positive association.

The psychology underlying gaming is complex. Points, levels and badges are not rewarding in themselves but rather the underlying phenomena such as social status, group identification and reputation. Game mechanics are therefore unlikely to affect everyone in the same way. For example, some people are inclined to seek status, while others may be status averse.
