Gamification has become a very popular term for a wide range of opportunities to increase customer interest and satisfaction. This has many uses, including science, commerce and everyday life. Despite the widespread use of gamification mechanisms, the scale of possible benefits is still unknown. The following work examines the influence of various gamification factors on a player's playing time and satisfaction in order to find the factor that brings the greatest benefit. The research was carried out using a game specially created for this purpose and on the basis of the results of the survey presented to the players. The results show that the five selected gamification factors are the challenges and the badges awarded for them have the greatest impact on both examined metrics.

Czynniki grywalizacyjne mają w obecnych czasach wielezastosowań poza rynkiem gier, między innymi w nauce, handlu jak i w codziennym życiu, co określane jest mianem grywalizacji. Pomimo jej powszechnego wykorzystywania, z racji na liczbę możliwych do wykorzystania czynników, skala potencjalnych korzyści wciąż pozostaje nieznana. Choć samo pojęcie grywalizacji odnosi się do obszarów nie związanych z grami, jej skuteczność skłania do zbadania źródła z któregosię wywodzi, a zatem wpływu poszczególnych jej czynników na same gry. Poniższa praca bada wpływ różnych czynników grywalizacyjnych na czas gry gracza oraz uzyskaną przez niego satysfakcję, w celu znalezienia czynnika przynoszącego największe korzyści. Badanie zostało wykonane przy pomocy specjalnie utworzonej w tym celu gry oraz na podstawie wyników ankietyprzedstawionej graczom. Wyniki pokazują, że pięciu wybranych czynników grywalizacyjnych, to wyzwania oraz przyznawane za nie odznaki mają największy wpływ na obie badane metryki.
