Ah, badges, or as Gamer Me™ likes to call them, trophies 🤣
This post gave me the *best* nostalgia trip to an app I used to use called Epic Win. This was a glorified to-do list, which featured (and if you've guessed questing...) questing. It'd assign points for your self-described quests, and even doing laundry would yield points.
I loved the shit out of that app right until the backend it ran on changed, or maybe it was the phone's to-do API that changed, but either way it no longer sync'd to Reminders and all hope was lost.
IMO this kind of thing is absolute genius, I love the hell out of gamified systems. Over a beer, we need to talk about Jane McGonigal's Super Better - I think you would dig that.

I’d love that bro beers must be arranged!
