Where will our games be played?

View family "BD"

Over the course of the next 2 weeks, I'll be helping conduct game user testing with our games in India. While the games are still "in-development", we want to sense of whether children/families
understand and enjoy the basic game dynamic. In an effort to include the broader Playpower community in the contextual design process, we have been making representations of the families who will be testing our games. We call these photo-rich representations "Contextual Scenarios."

We have two teams of fieldworkers, in Ahmedabad and in Bangalore, who have been interviewing low-income families in order to understanding the context in which the games will be played. If you are interested in where the Playpower games might end up being played, I'd love to get your feedback about these "contextual scenarios," which can be downloaded here. Do you think they could help you design more appropriate games? Is there any information they are missing?

Your honest feedback appreciated, as always. :)
