iNaturalist is already integrated with the Seek app, which has badges and challenges. My biggest complaint is the image detection could be better, but I’m sure there’s plenty of room to improve the gamification aspect too.

- culi 3y agoYes I use Seek. It's primarily just iNaturalist's identification AI with a tiny bit of gamification. Badges are cute but it doesn't really go past "observe 10 bird species", "observe 100 bird species", "observe 1,000 bird species", etc. There's monthly challenges too but they're usually just "observe 10 [herbivores|parasitic plants|species in protected areas|etc]". Don't get me wrong I love the app and everything iNaturalist is doing but it's not a full-featured game by any means
- thinkmassive 3y agoHaha I’m with you! It’s especially frustrating when I’ve observed a few new species, then “enroll” in a challenge and they don’t count. I use the app exclusively for identification, but it feels like there’s so much untapped potential, which you summarized very well.
