Edheads Design a Cell Phone is a highly engaging and interactive learning game. The objective of the game is to design a cell phone that appeals to senior citizens.
The game is about gathering client requirements, designing a cell phone to meet the needs, testing the design with a small group of elderly people, getting the design out to the market and checking sales results. The sales results determines how successful your cell phone design has been.
The game has different phases. The first is the research phase where you check survey results and understand the requirements of senior citizens with respect to cell phones. The research data give you information about their expectations in terms of usage, usability,design and so on.
The second phase is the design phase where you design a cell phone. You need to make sure that you design the cell phone in such a way that it appeals to senior citizens.
After you design your cell phone you can do pilot testing and get feedback on your design. Based on the feedback you can choose to redesign or get it out to the market.
Once you are convinced with your design, you get it out to the market and the sales results determine your success.
What I liked About the game
I like the way the game brings out the significance of research, pilot testing and sales results when it comes to product design. The game clearly conveys that every phase in product design is critical and has to be taken seriously.
The game has a simple storyline and needs no help to play. There is guided assistance throughout the game.
The game has great visuals and voice over. The interactivity model used in the game is very simple. You just need to play the game by clicking your mouse.
The game encourages trial and error. Even if you fail to design the right cell phone, there are words of encouragement for you. This motivates you to play the game again and again
