Let’s Play President: Design Brief I

Problem Statement
Commenting on the intelligence of our President has become a national and worldwide pastime for Americans. Many believe his ignorance and shortsightedness has led the country astray. However, who is throwing the first stone? How do we compete in a test of knowledge of past and current events?

Context Analysis
Currently NYTimes.com has a 5 question daily quiz for students. They are more geared toward a quiz about that week’s news, and their reward is simply a score.

User Profile
All Americans could use this game. The questions and resulting images will be geared for ages high school and above.

Solution
The solution would be a collaborative quiz that provides feedback on your successes, failures, and the public’s response through both humorous and realistic animations.  Also, it will then email/print out the results for your “cabinet”.
