Leaderboards vs Guilds

Why competition often works better than cooperation for ADHD.

The Guild Problem

Apps like Habitica use party accountability. If you miss dailies, your party takes damage. For ADHD users, this creates shame spirals.

The Leaderboard Advantage

Leaderboards create positive pressure without shame. You want to climb, not avoid punishment.
