Description
Take part in a *real-life game experiment!*
Researchers from the University of York want you to play a game they’ve made – and after you’ve finished, they’ll explain how what you just did helped to create new science!
Not only that, but you will get your results from the experiment and an explanation of what they might mean: You may even learn something new about yourself by playing too.
Take part now – have fun, and also help scientists to understand games (and gamers) better!
How to Play
Follow the directions on the screen.

1. the followup instruction screen "note that some words have changed"
was completely lost on me in the see of colors. since the screen looked the same overall, i did not notice the change at all and hence kept giving opposite responses as intended. Fix the visual. The part about changing words must be *********EMPHASIZED*******
2. There are people in this world who play without sound or even speakers. So sadly, the explanation was lost on me. needs subtitles.
Hoping the as of yet empty website from the facebook link will provide.
3. great idea testing on real game sites. kudos & keep it up!

The explanation at the end was really interesting... I ended up being in the "control" group and kept expecting something surprising to happen in the "game" and it made more sense in hindsight. :) I also had the violent intro with it, so it was definitely an odd perspective!

@ken ok enough. you are good, i am stupid. please lets reserve this board for game improvement rather than private bickering. when i pick up a manual, each page looks different. i don't tend to read a page again that looks like ive already seen it. perhaps we are being tested not on the stated goal at all, but our response to the instruction visuals lol.

@SissyFuzz: So... you need a background in cog science, design and advertising to be able to read simple instructions? You can say all you want but your actions prove the opposite
