Make them play some kind of simplified RPG until they realise the only achievement is how much time they put into doing mindless repetitive tasks.
There's a large difference between the "leveling up" in such games, where you gain new in-game capabilities, and actually getting better, where your in-game capabilities stay the same but you learn to use them more effectively.
