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 It is no longer active.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

Over 3700 tweets and 62 blog posts from the gamification gurus this month. Can we do better collectively next month?! Let's get tweeting and blogging, keep spreading the word about our awesome, life changing discipline.

This month we saw the biggest climbs from Samantha Clarke (up 57 places to 70th), Pau Yanez (up 54 places to 49th), and Michael Meder (up 53 places to 39th).

Well done to gurus Bernardo Letayf (18th), Marco Tonetti (19th), and Christi Collins (31st) who arrive back into the top 100 after a brief departure.

It hasn't been such a good month for gurus José Carlos Cortizo (down 74 to 124th), Jasper Mannaert (down 51 to 106th), and Ian Bogost (down 49 to 111th). Is their period in the sun over? Or will we see them bounce back!

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