• Gamification refers to the use of game mechanics and game dynamics in non-gaming environments and contexts.
• Gamification is increasingly gaining attention among system designers across various industries especially in education due to the benefits associated with its implementation.
• The adoption of gamification in information systems (IS) education is promising for engaging and motivating students to complete their degree programs.
• We use a multi-method approach to systematically review existing research on gamification in IS education to identify common terminologies, identify trends in topics studied, highlight understudied areas, and, thus, present opportunities for future research.
• The multi-method approach combines classical systematic review method and social network analysis to provide additional insight into the knowledge structure of researchers involved in the gamification of IS education.
