-Puzzling Mazes is a game derived from a combination of puzzles and mazes. This combination creates the ultimate challenge for problem solvers.
-The product comes with 200 puzzle pieces, allowing endless maze possibilities. Some dry-erase markers and a timer, for those who like being under pressure, are also included.
- The advantage to this 200 piece set is that you can make puzzles in varying sizes and maze trails to dictate the complexity of the product. Also, you can play with other, either working together or against your friend in a racing fashion against each other or the timer! The dry-erase markers allow you to re-use the product endlessly.
Prototype
-The prototype was made of a digitally constructed maze that was then mounted on hardboard. After, it was cut into 25 piece puzzle set.
-The prototype was fairly effective in relation to judging the actual product. It was very easy to see exactly how the user would interact with it.
User Testing & Feedback
-Users found it very easy to understand and interpret the intended use of the product.
-They found it challenging and to be a good concept.
-It was entertaining as a “multi-purpose toy”
-They suggested the product have a laminate surface, thus allowing the user to trace directly on the puzzle
-They also thought the 25 pieces would lack variation, causing the game to get boring and repetitive after few uses.
Improvements
To further improve the Puzzling Maze, I decided to make it a set of 200 puzzle pieces that allows the user to make endless amount of make versions. The pieces are cut in shapes that make the pieces to fit well with a variety of other pieces. The puzzle will have a laminate surface and will come with multiple dry-erase markers. Also, I decided to include a timer in the set, offering the option for the user to challenge themselves and improve their skills on their own when not always with others.
