How we built it
My thirty Seconds Seniors is the variation of my app my thirty seconds which is applicable for kids and grown-ups to enhance one's time management skills! But with respect to My thirty Seconds Seniors, each and every game has been crafted to be more inclusive and more friendly to be in a motivating manner and in a non-competitive way! Just encourages the seniors to be active and keep trying to bring back their paper pen games and giving their hands and brain a great work-out yet in a simple way!
My Thirty Seconds Seniors has been built by Brainstorming as well as researching ideas, learning, trial and errors, creating curated lists of games and finally crafting it to be senior friendly by making it interactive and motivating!
My Thirty Seconds Seniors has been created with 3 categories like writing pack, categories pack and drawing pack with In-Skill Purchasing that offers premium paid content for customers and is available for purchase. The games catalog and categories are expanding and at present there are 100+ games to try with!
Challenges we ran into
The games listed have to be crafted thinking the seniors in mind and how they would be thinking of this game and whether it would be helpful to give them a hint to start with or the scores and the comments will be encouraging enough to them to try! Handling and addressing these kinds of questions led to multiple revisions and it all ended up in shaping the product very well making it more friendly! The score count and the response to provide how good their scores have been handled by creating separate intents for each as slots didn't work as expected!
