Findings

Challenge Completion Discovery FellowshipExplorationCompetition

• Engagement through discovery• Need for more concrete rules and goals• Desire for self-expression

• Need for levels with new combinations• Limited combinations at the beginning might discourage user• No game story

1• Suitable for a wide group of users• Visual design became important (Warmer colors)

• Need for level indicators• Notifications to be aware of environment• Worried about stealers, communicating with other users•Trying out combinations with limited-edition items e.g. halloween food, iranian food, etc.

2• Player's rank with well-defined badges• Level indicators• Knowledge of rules, constraints and dynamics (tutorials, hints, rewards)• Establishing digital connections (messaging, social media) to carry real-life interactions• Improvements in visual design (icons, badges)

Reflections

The good

• More iterations, more clarity -> From Concept to Design• Referred to game as ‘interesting’ and ‘easy’• More methods help problems become more evident

The Challenges

• More participants (social app)• Time available to test• Need for alternate versions of the app• First time designing a game

ReflectionsThe future

• Tutorial• Improve competition component (badges, ranks)• Add integration of social media• Allow messaging among users• Partnering with food providers for marketing• Customize games by letting users choose their own themes
