‘Flow’
Many games researchers cite Nakamura and Csikszentmihalyi’s flow theory when explaining the power of game play. Flow (also called ‘optimal experience’ or being ‘in the zone’) describes “…the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.” http://eweaver.myweb.usf.edu/2002-Flow.pdf
