Research

Step 1 - conduct interviews

I conducted a series of interviews with potential users to gain insight into what they would want from an app like Highscorer and don’t out this app. Using this information, I created personas to represent our users.

Interview questions

  • Do you enjoy playing arcade games?

  • Would you like to keep track of your high scores from arcades? Why or why not

  • Would you like to just a history of your personal high scores?

  • Would you like to see other players high scores compared to your own?

  • How do you feel about manually inputting your high scores?

  • How much information would you feel comfortable inputting? Personal information + scores

  • Would you be okay with other people seeing these high scores? Why or why not

Some information gained from these interviews were the following pros and cons

Pros

  • Have a way to track her high scores for personal improvement

  • Compare her high scores to other players

  • Wants to be able show her scores to friends

  • Wants to keep a personal record of his high scores

  • To have a motivation to improve at the arcade games he plays

  • An option where you can record privately and then opt into sharing them would be cool

Cons

  • Doesn’t want to input a lot of personal information

  • Doesn’t want to exclusively compare her scores to other players

  • Doesn’t want to have to look at other players scores

  • Afraid of comparing himself too other too easily
