Game concept

Name of the game

Target audience

Mainly BA and MA students who are willing to know more about qualitative research implemented by testing methodology.

Main idea

In the game we have 3 different screens:
- Interview interface;
- AI observation;
- Actual gameplay, interaction with objects.
A company's boss will ask for your services to make his workers’ job more efficient. At first, you’re going to have a talk with the boss about how things should be, during the interview he will explain how the worker does his job. Then the player is going to observe (~45 seconds) a worker (AI) doing his tasks by interacting with objects in a room. The third screen (Actual Play) appears where the player has to interact with objects and rearrange them so the worker (AI) would be more efficient.

Learning objectives

Entertaining aspect

Player gets to observe and memorize the AI routine. By observing what the AI does, then think of a better way to solve the puzzle to save more time on how to make AI’s actions more efficient.

Gameplay (main challenge)

Main challenges are to memorize AI’s actions and solving the puzzle by rearranging game objects around. Player has a top-down view for observing and menu to interact with to rearrange objects.
