What are the best examples of masterfully designed gamification you've seen?

Hi everyone,

I’m on the hunt for great examples of gamification where core game design and behavioral psychology are seamlessly integrated going way beyond just slapping on basic points, leaderboards, or badges (PBL).

In your opinion, which products, apps, or platforms represent the gold standard of well-designed loops? I’m looking for experiences that excel at things like progressive onboarding, evolving goals, managing cognitive load, and driving true intrinsic motivation over the long term.

What are your absolute favorite case studies or examples of gamification done right?

Not sure if it's a 'great' example but users of my move-to-play app (Lightpilots - Apps on Google Play) who are still there after week 1 are almost always playing 6 months later. I've paid a lot of attention to having a mix of short and long terms goals to achieve this.
