Abstract :
In this paper we report our efforts to explore the usefulness of game design principals in a software based social science lab experiment. We discuss a case example that shows how game design principals could make the experiment more engaging and informative which in turn helps researchers collect meaningful data i.e. reducing randomness in the collected data.
