The game was meant for gaming parties, where it is difficult to keep the participants engaged. Thus, our main challenge was to find a set of fun and enticing actions that set the players in a competitive mood. With this in mind, we decided to find the set of tasks included in the final product starting from a prototype. This approach allowed us to test different mechanics and get feedback from multiple potential gamers. In addition, we made the actions very intuitive but not simple. Thus, we left room for incremental adjustments of the difficulty during the game session.

Finding the perfect position for each UI element was also a challenging process. In short, we addressed it by displaying the status of the game session and task progress with several elements that do not obstruct the view or draw too much attention from the user’s current goal.
