Playground @ UXC

Playground @ UXC is a game focused on the study of Human-Centered Design developed by the Singapore Polytechnic User Experience Center. It features a series of quizzes and challenges inspired by real-life case studies from the Polytechnic Center.

It was a very interesting project to participate in: the challenges were developed through a gamification process based on these real-life cases, and the in-game personality quizzes yielded results based on a partnership with Don Norman, the "father" of UX.

The game is currently in the soft launch process.
