Having our game go through successfully was certainly satisfying, and it was really fun working with the Honey Badger team. We certainly came a long way from our cardboard cut out sign and individual game pieces. Though our participant was eager to run through the trials of our game, I wonder how we could have improved our idea had we neglected to utilize networking in our strategy.
Our use of signage and electronic messaging was different from the usual sort of advertisements Red Square frequently displays for various campus activity. I liked how we made giant yellow signs, however we could have made them larger! That may have grabbed more attention. I am curious how we can avoid the awkward factor of the game: we can't talk or give very much instruction, so I think strangers were a little hesitant to partake in our game for fear that our strategy was fake. Perhaps more explicit instruction on smaller signs or messages?
Our next challenge will provide for a more interesting interaction with UW students and I hope that the motives and strategies we've discovered in this first trial will help in the second!
