For this task, we were told to create a puzzle based on the subject matter we chose based on a newspaper headline. The headline my group chose was one about monster energy drink causing the deaths of 5 people. Without reading the actual story (the puzzle is based of the headline alone, not the context of the story), we based the puzzle on a detailed drawn image of the monster energy drink factory, with hidden dangers the player must find within two minutes This is because the player takes the role of a safety inspector who must find health risks to close the factory down. The safety inspector must not be there for over two minutes as after that he will be found and thrown off the premises.
Lack of detail in the image was the problem with the puzzle. Mainly due to the fact that not much time was given to create a highly detailed image meant that dangers were easy to spot. Possibly if the image ha been designed on Photoshop (with multiple layers) it would have been mush easier to hide the dangers, for example, adding a barrel to cover most of one of the dangers, as currently, most dangers were out in the open. The reason for this was that we drew the dangers in first then found out that we didn't have enough time to go over with detail to hide a lot of the dangers.
The player would take about 30 seconds to find all of the dangers. This was due to lack of detail, but other than that all of the dangers were recognizable as dangers, so there is a success in that respect.
