Leaderboards Transform the Way Players Experience Your Game

Something most developers miss about scoreboards and timeboards: they're not just score trackers or time trackers, they're silent gameplay teachers.

Every time a player glances at your leaderboard, you're showing them what's possible. You're revealing new ways to play, new goals to chase, and new definitions of success they might not have considered.

The real victory isn't who tops the charts, it's how those charts expand every player's understanding of your game.

Scoreboards as Gameplay Suggestions

Every leaderboard category is essentially a mission statement.

When you track "Pacifist Runs" you're telling players that violence isn't the only solution.

When you measure "Comeback Victories" you're encouraging players not to give up when they're behind.

Your leaderboards become invisible quest objectives!

Players naturally gravitate toward optimizing whatever you're measuring, which means you can guide their behavior simply by choosing what to track.

When players leave your game having discovered new ways to play, new skills to develop, and new aspects of themselves as gamers, that's when you know your leaderboards have succeeded.

Using a service such as GameRank will let you focus on your game. Meanwhile, we will deal with maintaining and scaling the backend of the fierceful competition that leaderboards create in your game.
