Critical Response to Game Trial 28/3

7x7 grid- difficult route

Good things:

• ·      Game was enjoyable
• ·      Good level of difficulty (for us)
• ·      We really had to work together
• ·      We quickly got quite invested in the game. Frustrated when we made mistakes, happy when we got it right. 
• ·      We liked having a prop- carrying the ‘jellyfish’
• ·      Easy to move through grid
• ·      Liked not having to flip anything
• ·      No hazards

Not so good things:

• ·      Need short precise statements for wrong moves eg “oh no you got eaten by a seal!”
• ·      Need a clearer narrative throughout
• ·      This course was probably too hard for younger kids

To keep thinking about:

• ·      Options for playing outside
• ·      More visuals
