Preface
The GamiFIN conference is an annual international academic conference on gamification with
rigorous double blind international peer-review practices. The conference brings together a
community of researchers and practitioners to present results from their latest work regarding
gamification.
The fourth international GamiFIN conference, organized by the Gamification Group, took place
on April 1-3, 2020. The conference was planned to be held in Levi, Finland, but due to the COVID-
19 pandemic restrictions the conference was held online. All of the planned conference sessions
and keynote were delivered and attended by the conference participants using Zoom software.
GamiFIN 2020 was chaired by Professor Juho Hamari and Dr. Jonna Koivisto.
GamiFIN 2020 conference was proud to have as a keynote speaker Assistant Professor Andreas
Lieberoth (University of Aarhus, Denmark) who has conducted extensive research on the
behavioural and psychological impact of gamification.

a call for papers issued in autumn 2019. The conference management system EasyChair was
utilized for paper submissions, with a double blind peer review process being employed. The
international program committee of the conference consisted of experts in various fields related to
gamification. The acceptance rate for submissions was 36%.

gamification failed, or failed to evolve? Lessons from the frontline in information systems

In addition to the academic paper track, GamiFIN 2020 hosted a doctoral consortium. Altogether

on their research projects from a panel consisting of the conference chairs and senior scholars in
the field of gamification. Furthermore, GamiFIN 2020 featured two poster sessions, where 12
