Survival of the fittest playtest review

Survival of the Fittest

• By Donal, Rachel(s) and Aidan.

A game of health, fitness and smartness.

The Game

• The rules were kept simple• Answer questions right to gain a muscle• Answer a question wrong and face a

punishment• Punishments don’t earn you anything.• To win just be first to get every muscle

on the board.

The initial playtest

• We learned a lot from the playtest. . .1. Our punishments weren’t very inclusive and

inviting to people to get active2. We ran short of health and food questions3. The actual board needed to include body

parts that could be easily put on aswell as removed.

Changes

• The punishments.• Do the plank position til you answer your next

question• Jumping Jacks• Yoga poses• Dance to a song• Carry someone on your back til your next

question

Changes

• This made the game more interactive and we found people enjoyed it more.

• 2nd Change• We raised the amount of questions from 15 to

30 which left us with enough• Multiple choice gave people a better choice

Changes

• Chance cards also came into effect which meant people could rip off other peoples muscles if they got a question right

• The look of the board was changed to incorporate the body parts (vell crow added etc.)

Finally ..

• A suggestion by one of the masters students to include alcohol in the game.

• The playtest helped us see the problems in our game and make chances to enhance its quality.
