  Found the roots screen with only 3 options easy to discern.
  
• 
  The Host function was self explanatory
  
• 
  When asked to ping for robbers in the second part of the first set of tasks didn’t know what to do.
  
  • 
    “uhh so I have to ping”
    
  • 
    Maybe did not understand what ping meant
    
  • 
    Saw the ping button and entered it, wasn’t sure what to do.
    
• 
  The final cop scenario is to capture an opponent robber
  
  • 
    Had trouble with how to capture
    
  • 
    We did not set up a mechanism for capture because we assumed everybody who knew the rules of the game would know how to capture
    
  • 
    Ended up simulating a capture like if the game was being played without a cell phone
    
• 
  Joining a game similar enough to hosting a game this was not a problem
  
• 
  Was unsure how to access the menu to use items.
  
• 
  Pinging for cops was misnomer as it was actually an item.
  
  • 
    This confused the player
    
• 
  Player did not need to explicitly touch buttons on the phone to initiate arrival at goal, maybe something should be pressed on the phone to increase interaction
  

Player 2 – 3^rd year business major

• 
  Was holding his blackjack, really familiar with android phone layout
  
• 
  Finding the host button was trivial
  
• 
  Confused at startup screen.
  
  • 
    Did not realize the length of the game could be set
    
  • 
    Did not know what to do with start/end location button
    
  • 
    Tried to start game without setting start/end location
    
  • 
    Went back and set arbitrary points, realized what happened after locations had already been set
    
  • 
    Tried to push up/down instead of left/right to set the time
    
• 
  Ping feature did not confuse
  
• 
  Same problem with cops scenario; just simulated a capture as if game was being played without mobile device
  
• 
  When joining a game was unclear whether joined as a cop or a robber, this is a default setting we need to decide on
  
• 
  Using items was trivial did not require any explanation
  
• 
  Was able to locate hypothetical goal easily
  

Player 3 – 3^rd year MCB major

• 
  Saw the timer option on the game set-up screen and wanted to set the time but had a hard time figuring out how.
  
• 
  "i want to set some sort of time limit; i don't see a num bad, intuitively use arrows, pressed up fisrt, some number pops up”
  
• 
  Again, tried to start game without setting the start/stop location
  
• 
  Pressed enter without knowing what he did when trying to set start stop location
  
• 
  After locations were set, started the game and went to enter game
  
• 
  For the task of pinging robbers, pressed the select button in the middle of the d-pad and assumed it would ping
  
• 
  Took a while to figure out had to press menu in order to access pinging options
  
• 
  Once the menu was found pinged easily
  
• 
  Robber tasks were easier after completing cop tasks
  
• 
  Tried to access ping, when asked to use item to find cops ping needs to be removed from the robber menu screen
