Testing day

IWhat you will be doing

You will take part in an early version of a GeoCash treasure hunt through Melbourne’s CBD.

You will be placed into a small team and use a phone to:

Follow location and navigation clues

Travel between several checkpoints

Solve riddles, codes and observation challenges

Find Melbourne landmarks and hidden details

Unlock and capture digital relics

Test whether the instructions, maps and gameplay are clear

Tell us what worked, what was confusing and what should change

This is a development test, so some parts may not work perfectly. Finding those problems is one of the main reasons for running the session. You do not need specialist knowledge or previous treasure hunt experience.

At the end, we will have a short discussion about what you enjoyed, where you became stuck and whether you would play a finished GeoCash hunt. There will not be a long report or complicated survey.
