Eubrics allows different unlocking patterns to choose from:
¶ 1. Fully Unlocked
- In this pattern, all items of the module are unlocked.
- Participants can complete any item in the module in any order.
¶ 2. Fully Unlocked Stepwise
- In this pattern, all items of the module are unlocked, but they need to be completed one at a time, starting from the first item.
- Each item remains locked until the previous one is completed.
- Participants have to complete item 1, followed by item 2, and so on until they finish all the items.
¶ 3. Daily Unlocking
- This form of unlocking is used for habit-based modules, helping people form new habits by practicing one item daily.
- In this pattern, one item unlocks per day.
- Items unlock all days of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays.
- On the first day, only one item will be unlocked, and after completing it, the participant will have to wait until the next day to complete the next item.
- Items unlock as per the start and end date without considering each participant’s completion.
- Participants visiting the module on the last day will have all items unlocked and can complete them in one go.
¶ 4. Weekdays Unlocking
- Similar to daily unlocking but restricted to weekdays (Monday to Friday).
- No items unlock on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Participants must wait until the next weekday to complete the next item.
- Items unlock based on the start and end date, independent of each participant’s progress.
- Participants visiting the module on the last day will have all items unlocked and can complete them in one go.
¶ 5. Weekly Unlocking
- Used for habit-based modules where participants practice a few items each week.
- A preset number of items unlock each week (configurable for each week).
- Once participants complete the unlocked items for the week, they must wait until the next week for the next set of items.
- Items unlock each week based on the start and end date without considering each participant’s completion.
- Participants visiting the module on the last week will have all items unlocked and can complete them in one go.
¶ Importance of Unlocking Patterns
Unlocking patterns play a key role in determining the gamification features that can be activated in Eubrics modules:
¶ Fully Unlocked or Stepwise Unlocked
- Limited gamification options are available, including points, leaderboards, and badges.
- Suitable for simpler modules with less focus on ongoing engagement.

¶ Weekday Unlocking and Weekly Unlocking
- Allows for full-fledged gamification features such as medals, consistency points, teams, team bonuses, and more.
- Encourages sustained participation and creates an engaging experience for participants.

¶ Recommendation
For action-based modules, it is advised to use weekday or weekly unlocking patterns to unlock the full potential of gamification and drive higher engagement and motivation.
