User Feedback Questions ¶

Section One ¶

To be asked of students before they see our game concept. These can all be asked on a survey. Some will need the option of open ended answers, so this may need to change if teachers do not think students will give useful written answers.

• Have you ever played a tycoon simulation game before (e.g. Roller Coaster Tycoon)?
• If yes, do you enjoy that type of game?
• What kinds of computer/video games do you play regularly?
• What do you enjoy about these games?
• Do you prefer realistic games or fantasy?
• Do you use maps to get around?
• Do you have experience planning and following a route using interactive maps (e.g. Google maps)?
• Do you have experience planning a route using non-interactive maps?
• Do you have experience reading public transportation maps?

Section Two ¶

To be asked after students have seen our game design. These can also be survey questions, but we would prefer teacher-moderated discussions as they require longer, more thoughtful answers. Teachers should answer these questions as well.

• Do you think this game will be fun? Why or why not? Which aspects in particular?
• Which aspect of the game is most interesting to you? (mapping, circus, money management)
• What kinds of cities/locations would you be interested in seeing in the game? Would you prefer realistic maps and places or a fantasy world?
• What kinds of circus attractions would you enjoy seeing?
• What skills would you learn from playing this game?
