Don't really like that game because the game is really easy. It uses good observation skills, but is again really easy!
I liked this game to an extent. I agree with Brandon F, that this game involves observations skills. I also liked how this game was educational, and not just clicking on random things. In specific, I liked how we had to math the hairs with the owners, using clues that they gave us. However, the clues that they gave us were very obvious. If I were working on the game, I would make it a little more challenging, and perhaps make it so that you actually had to solve the crime using fingerprints or something.
This game is okay, a good way to just burn some time if your bored....BUT IT DOESNT TEACH YOU A THING!!!!! Maybe it could actually say how the things your using to experiment on the hair actually work???? I was really interested on the fact that yeah, you can learn so much from a strand of hair, but how do these instruments actually work to give us the information?
the game is not very good as brandon says is much to easy it basically gives away the answer
I liked the game, but from what almost everybody here said, it was very easy. I played the game twice, but the problem was that the culprit was the same person!!! If they kept on switching the culprits, I thought would be better. However, I agree with Arjun that the game involves observation skills.
P.S. Arjun!!! You spelled matched wrong...
I found this game very interesting. It is cool how they had decided who was the culprit by what they put in their hair. However, one flaw about this game is that you could just keep on guessing for every sample of hair and just not do any of the tests or read any of the results. However, I think that there should have been more forensic steps instead of just the hair samples. An alternative to that would be a follow-up game to this one where the band who got their hair products swiped stole the other band's instruments and we had to use fingerprints to figure out who did it.
I think that game is very entertaining and helps your detective skills but I don't find much of it relating to science. Sure it has fancy technology and pictures but it does not explain about all the sciency things that I thought they could. I know that there are 12 different fibers that make up hair. They could have described how the fibers are different for different hairs. I also know there is a life span to hair. They live from 2 to 7 years. Just for fun they could have included how old the piece of hair was.
I agree with everyone else. the game was very easy. It didn't seem like I learnt a lot about hair though. I thought it was an OK game but it could have been better.
I thought that the game was pretty cool because I liked to see how in real labs, scientists use these tools to find criminals from hair dna. It was kind of easy but I still liked how you had to do the process of elimination.
I agree with what Gabby said. It didn't teach you anything. She's right if your bored you should play this game it will give you something to do. But, it just isn't the most fun game. sure it was cool to see the different lab tests but in all I didn't really like this game.
I agree with everybody else, pretty much. The game was pretty simple to solve, and it was the same culprit each time. Perhaps the creators of the game would have put a "culprit randomizer" if they had more time. Otherwise, the game was pretty interesting and it taught me a lot about hair... which I knew almost nothing about before. x3
To Claire:
Hey, you're hurting the game's feelings. I do agree with you though. It was entertaining but it could have included more science and learning.
P.S: Just don't make the game feel bad. Would you like it if the game made YOU feel bad? I don't think so.
hey i honestly think that 'making the game feel bad' is exactly what we're SUPPOSED to be doing if we really didn't like it. the whole point of this blog is to express our feelings, and to have other people either agree or disagree. there shouldn't be a right or wrong to some extent.
I thought that this could have been a good game, but I found it rather boring. In my opinion, it was just clicking buttons and reading the character hair biographies. At first, I thought it was okay, but the second time I played the culprit was the same. I thought that it also should have explained exactly what the instruments do in more detail.
I really liked when Emery said:
"An alternative to that would be a follow-up game to this one where the band who got their hair products swiped stole the other band's instruments and we had to use fingerprints to figure out who did it."
That would be a great follow up game, and it might make it more scientific. I also think think that it should have had more science, such as having to do something other than just "click and read" such as type in what the instrument does, or use a different instrument for each person, ect. All in all, I don't think this game was very scientific.
it was a good game, it was fun using all the tools they gave us, however, i agree with arjun and brandon f, this game was to easy and the clues were too obvious.
I liked the game because it was fun and interesting, but the problem was that the instruments gave you the answers and it wasn't much of a challenge. Like some of the others said, The culprit was the same every time. I don't think real hair dna is as easy to identify as this was.
The game also could have described what the tools you were using to figure out who's hair it was were rather than just telling you the hair was bleeched. Just a thought.
Well, it was interesting how they told you that the scales were cracked or in order and stuff like that. Also, I kind of remember how at one point they told you what kind of chemical was in the hair... It was actually a really fun game... Except for the shortness and simplicity. x3
This game was not much fun. I found out who the culprit was even before the game had started. I found it way to easy and I got no knowledge from it. I don't really like this game and don't suggest it to others.
That was pretty fun. But i agree with everyone else. It was too easy.
i played it a second time and the clues were the same. its pretty much a game you play once for fun or just to try. to sum up what everybody was saying, he's how i think people should approach it : Dont expect it to be a challenge. just something you play for fun, since its not very complicated. if you dont like it, then dont play it. I really have nothing else to say.
The game for me was actually pretty hard to get the right match on the first time. I Agree with Arjun. You should make it a little more interesting and deal with something else also to find the person. The game was OK. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. (There isn't really a word for it.)
This game just repeated itself every time you played it again. It would be a little more fun if they changed up the culprits but still it would be a little boring. I definately found it non-sciencey. I KNOW I SPELLED SCIENCEY AND DEFINATELY WRONG.
I liked the game except it was really confusing at first. However, once I started to play it some more it became more and more clear.
That game is O. K., but it's to easy, and really boring. THe music also got on my nerves.
I like this game to some degree, but overall I do not think it is a good game. It is really easy and does not require much thinking. I understand the purpose of the game: to give ideas on how forensics work and how just a little strand of hair can be a huge piece of evidence. The clues given were a lot of information, almost too much for reality. I think this game would be better for younger kids who are just learning about these kinds of things. People our age are kind of "smarter" than the game. I also have to agree with Psalm: the music really got on my nerves, which can make a big difference to how I look at the game before I even start it. For ways to improve the game (in my opinion): I would make it longer, put in more of a crime story, make sure that the culprit changes every time, and have more clues to handle. Like Gaby said, you don't even learn how to use the equipment, you just click on it! Also, In the beginning when it shows the thief stealing the hair supplies...okay, this may sound a bit odd, but you can already narrow it down to the culprit being a woman because the legs going in the door are illustrated in a plainly feminine style. Also, it was not that big of a crime-stealing hair supplies is not like solving a double-homicide case with a "ghost man". When you figure out who committed the "crime", the lady actually did not have that good of a motive. I would say that this game definitely needs improvement. Or perhaps they could have different levels of difficulty...just a thought.
I thought that this game was very confusing, very hard to figure out also was much too obvious. I really didn't like the plot of the game. I mean I think they could of made it at least a little more interesting. I agree with Arjun and Brandon F 100% it is really easy, and what I would have done if I ran this game is that I would of mad it a little more challenging like including foot prints or finger prints, also I would have made it a little more interesting by saying like a criminal mastermind and you are about to get him into jail and it's up to only you, then yeah I at least think I would like the game better. Also, I agree with Gabby, IT DOESN'T TEACH YOU ANYTHING!!!
I did not really learn about anything in this game because it started to get obvious that the same person is the criminal every time. Although it was sort of interesting because I got to see the under a microscope.
to make it more educational, they could tell how each machine worked and how each one analyzed the hair
Many people agreed that this was easy, and I have to admit, I am one of them. This game has many holes because a different person with the same glitter gel could have been the culprit. Anyways, I can't really tell, because I instinctively pressed "Apple Q" after 1 minute of total boredom. This game was SLIGHTLY ridiculous because all you have to do is read and match. I think this game portrays the forensic sciences poorly because not every time you can see exactly what the hair had on it, or in which condition it is in. But really, couldn't they have done a DNA test on the glitter gel because it most have some traces of who ever it was on. This boring game had absolutely nothing to do with science.
oh sorry the comment above is mine
I accidently spelled matched wrong. I spelled it math. Oops. I really agree with most everyone here, Danielle, both Brandons, and whoever else said it was average. I also like how Brandon B. threw in some cool facts about hair. I liked how Maya put her perspective on it. It really made me think about the other flaws in the game. Like the music (credit to Pslam). I never thought that it could affect your opinion on the game. Like Maya also said, if they could probably extend the game a bit. Kent, Joaquin, and other people were right about the fact that if you played it again, it should be a bit more random. My cousin said that there was a simple way to make things random every time you play the game. He said it was called the RNG or something, but that's another story.
I played this game and was bored out of my mind. I liked how it was not clicking just on random things, but it was the same culprit every single time. You could obviously see that the legs walking into the boys dressing room were woman's legs. (i agree with MAYA) I also thought it was a little too easy to solve. Hair samples isn't the only tool to solve a crime and I think footprints or fingerprints can still be showed with cool microscope images and you could have matched those to the shoes and fingers. They could have created more of a variety.
all in all, I didn't really like it that much.
This game was very easy. It has the same answer every time and didn't involve much thinking.It almost gave away the answer. I didn't enjoy it a lot.
I agree with Gaby. This was a very simple game, and you don't learn from it. The theme was sorta lame, and it was sooooooooooooooo easy. You could even do it without "asking the band members questions."
I think that it is interesting that you can examine so much from one strand of hair. Although, I do think that there should have been more clues, to solve the mystery even faster. I couldn't decide who a couple of hairs belonged to, but overall I really liked this game.
After you play it over and over again it gets kind of annoying because it is soooooo repetative.
