Overview

Tryno’s gamification engine rewards members for participating in your community. Every meaningful action earns XP (experience points), which accumulates into levels. Combine this with streaks, badges, and leaderboards to create a self-sustaining engagement loop.

Experience points (XP)

Members earn XP for actions across the platform:
ActionDefault XP
Create a post+10
Comment on a post+5
Receive a like+2
Complete a daily challenge+15
Finish a course+50
Check in at an event+20
XP values are fully configurable. Go to Admin > Settings > Gamification to customize how much XP each action is worth.

Levels

Members advance through levels as they accumulate XP. Each level can unlock:
  • Exclusive badges
  • Access to tier-based chat channels
  • Premium content (courses, challenges)
  • Discounts on paid content and events
Set level thresholds that feel achievable but meaningful. If levels are too easy, they lose value. If too hard, members disengage. Start with 5-10 levels and adjust based on your analytics.

Streaks

Streaks track consecutive daily activity and reward consistency:
  • Check-in streak — Consecutive days the member visited the community
  • Post streak — Consecutive days with at least one post
  • Current streak and maximum streak are both tracked
  • Streak bonuses can award extra XP for maintaining a streak
Streaks reset at midnight in the community’s configured timezone.

Badges

Badges are visual achievements displayed on member profiles. You can create two types:
Awarded automatically when a member meets defined criteria. Examples:
  • “First Post” — Awarded after publishing a first post
  • “30-Day Streak” — Awarded for a 30-day check-in streak
  • “Course Graduate” — Awarded after completing a course
Awarded by admins to recognize individual contributions or achievements that don’t fit automatic criteria. Useful for things like “Community MVP” or “Event Speaker.”

Leaderboard

The leaderboard ranks members by total XP in real time. It is visible to all community members and refreshes automatically as XP changes.
  • Visibility — Members can see where they stand relative to others.
  • Competition — Friendly rivalry motivates consistent participation.
  • Recognition — Top members get social proof and status within the community.
