In physics, mechanical resonance occurs when elements vibrate at a shared frequency, amplifying energy far beyond what any one part could achieve.

In gamification? It’s when every feature — missions, rewards, leaderboards, and feedback — align so perfectly that engagement flows effortlessly.

This episode dives into what resonance looks like in behavior systems:

Why dissonance kills momentum, how emotional rhythm matters, and what happens when mechanics sing in harmony.

If you’ve ever felt like your system has all the right parts but still isn’t clicking — this one’s for you.
