  21. Mosaic: Audience Feedback so far •It’s fun (7.5-10 out 10). •The number of in-game rounds of match-3 need to be reduced. •How the game moves you through the museum needs to be rethought. •Scavenger hunt aspect gets high ratings from players. •People don’t explore buttons for information (Help) or game play (Change ability). •The map needs some work. •People read and enjoy the narrative. •Some players pay attention to works of art while playing, others don’t – the game does not require looking at the works of art.

  22. Remaining Questions and Next Steps Game players must learn what the game requires in order to advance to a win. How do I make the content I want to teach: •Close looking at works of art •Information about how ancient works of art were made and used function as what the player must learn to win the game – and keep the game engaging at the same time?
