You can travel with this toy anywhere you go. Labyrinth 2 is the new advanced version of the original Labyrinth. What makes this toy more complex and even more difficult is that you are not only provided with one ball but two. Now your wrist can get a more hardcore workout.
The way that you play Labyrinth 2 is simple. You are given two balls, one white and one yellow. There is a whole at the side of the box where both balls can be inserted. As you would play in the original Labyrinth, your job is to get the ball in the appropriate hole. With labyrinth 2, trying to handle both balls is the challenge. Each ball has its own hole to drop into which are placed on opposite corners. Balancing both balls is the challenge and also preventing them from dropping into the trick holes makes it more difficult. If you do happen to fall within the trick holes there is an exit hole at the bottom of the box that will retrieve your ball and give you a chance to start over.
During the user testing, it was obvious that rules were not needed for this toy. What was expected for this toy is basic knowledge. Although the concept of the toy was not new, having two balls is more difficult.
User Testing Results
· Rules were not needed. People knew what was intended by their previous experience with the original Labyrinth.
· Users missed the fact about putting both balls in the box at the same time.
· The entering hole needed to be relocated. It was too far to the side and can easily fall out when tilting the box
· The existing holes needed to be bigger. The balls would get stuck at would cause the user to shake it to get it out.
· There needed to be fewer holes, because the fact that you are playing with two balls makes it more difficult to begin with.
· Have two balls in the box is a good concept
· The design of the box itself needed to be more appealing. The color of it was too boring and dull. If the walls or the exterior of the box were colorful then it would be more attractive and interesting to play.
Design Improvements.
· The entering hole will be placed on the bottom right hand corner. It will be placed on the glass so that when the ball is dropped, it will fall right into the starting line, preventing any balls from falling out.
· The interior of the box will be decorated as requested. It will have more vibrant and fun colors so that the game itself will be more attractive and more playful. Different designs would be presented for a specific group of audience, i.e. one for males would have more bold and solid colors and one for females would have more soft and comforting colors.
·The trick holes will be limited since the fact of balancing two balls at once is difficult enough.
· The trick holes itself will be cut bigger and also have cleaner edges so that the balls will not get stuck.
