The Physical Prototype is Here!

Sooooo, my first prototype was a success. Don’t mind the tacky material used, per it is just a drafted prototype. Aside form that the game came out really nice and the feedback I received has left me with some great new ideas. I’m excited for the future of it!

Based on the first and second round of the game I got back. very useful SWOT analysis.

S– I was told the concept of the game and the many ways it can be played and incorporated into different topics such as sports, study material or movies etc. might be the best part.

W – From the feedback I received I was told the design of the game could be a little easier to put together.

O – As per the participants, they agreed the game brought new study opportunities and ability to be competitive at the same time having fun.

T – no threats were assessed at this time.

From the SWOT analysis and feedback I received I’ve decided to do some reforming in the design of the game and adding “different levels” of the game. What I mean by that is I’m going to allow the participants to earn more points within the game, kind of like a basketball game and the 3-point line, 2-point field goals and 1-point free throws. If the players “bounce” the pingpong ball into the box they’ll earn double points. This lead me to using a wider box for the design. I’ve also decided to add triple the points if the players stand at a distance (maybe 5 feet) when tossing the ball. These two changes adds more level of competitiveness. SO rather than earring one point for letter in the topic they make it past, the receive two points for each letter if the ball is bounced and if they toss it from the 5 foot distance they receive TRIPLE the points!
