Although we had added an on-boarding wizard to the
prototype, we felt the testing experience needed something extra to make it more fun and engaging. Also the process would go more swiftly if the kids and parents could prepare themselves, for instance by selecting the stuff they wanted to trade beforehand. This brought us to the creation of our very own Warenhuisje (on)board(ing) game.
Next to assisting with the on-boarding process, the material developed also lets us explain the full process of the exchange, which partially (still) happens offline. Finally we realised this material could also help us scale later on. We aimed to develop it in a way for parents or teachers to easily familiarise themselves with it to act as facilitators, without requiring our physical presence.
The board game worked like a charm! Once we laid out the print-out on the table, the kids started searching for little figurines to mark their progress. It motivated them to go to the next steps.
