# Ranks

## **Understanding ranks**

Ranks are a powerful gamification tool that allows you to create a tiered system of achievement within your campaigns. Users earn points by completing tasks and quests, and as they accumulate points, they progress through different ranks. Each rank can be associated with specific rewards, benefits, or recognition, providing a clear path for users to strive for and a sense of accomplishment as they advance.

### **Benefits of using ranks**

**Increased engagement:** Ranks provide a clear goal for users to work towards, encouraging them to participate more actively in your campaigns.

**Motivation and progression:** The tiered system motivates users to continue engaging with your campaign to reach higher ranks and unlock new rewards.

**Sense of accomplishment:** Achieving new ranks provides a sense of accomplishment and recognition, fostering a positive user experience.

**Community building:** Ranks can be used to create a sense of community and hierarchy within your campaign, encouraging users to compare their progress and strive for higher levels of achievement.

**Personalization:** Ranks can be customized to match your campaign's theme and branding, creating a more immersive and engaging experience for your users.
