The Gamification Gurus Power 100 ranked individual social influence from 2012 to 2019. It is no longer active.

Any questions on this list or gamification in general - please contact Toby Beresford

This month we saw the biggest climbs from Ahmed Hossam (up 85 places to 27th), Jorge Simões (up 83 places to 44th), and Helen Routledge (up 71 places to 37th).

We also see gurus Joris Beerda (19th), Ercan Altug YILMAZ (24th), and Guy Stephens | @guy1067 (71st). arriving in this release of the Gamification Gurus Power 100 board.

It hasn't been such a good month for gurus Scott Sinclair (down 127 to 134th), Darryn Van den Berg (down 91 to 134th), and Thijs de Vries (down 89 to 120th).

Well done to this week's top three Pete Jenkins, Monica Cornetti, and Andrzej Marczewski.
