Purpose Games :]

      Creativity- I scored creativity a 4. This is because you have the option of customizing your game. First you get the choice of multiple choice games or place-it-on-a-map game. From there, it takes you to a page that formats your game. You can choose between different colored backgrounds, different font styles and sizes, game title, timers, hints, etc. You then insert the questions you want in your game and create your game. This page is more creative because you actually have the option of customizing your game.
     
     Backgrounds- I scored backgrounds a 3. This is because, unlike the other website, you now have the option of choosing your background. The reason I didn’t give it a 5 was because there isn’t many backgrounds to choose from. That doesn’t really matter though because you can choose backgrounds from different colors, and colors influence the player’s attention. You can research what color would be best for a game, and you have the choice of putting that color as your background.
     
     Simplicity- I scored simplicity a 4. This is because the website automatically gives you the steps you have to follow in order to create your website. It’s not a complicated process you have to go through or anything like that. As you complete the different pages you have to fill out, the website automatically puts the next step on the screen. It’s the same thing for game users. All they have to do is choose the game they want to play. The instructions will then pop out. Once they read the instructions, they will click play and play the game. This website is very simple to use and that’s good for sixth graders.
    
     Quality- I scored quality a 4. This is because many people are subscribed to this website and the reviews of the games are good. This tells me that there is possibility of creating a good game on this website. Also, unlike the other website, this website allows a timer, or only a certain amount of chances to answer each question. It also allows you to insert hints and things like that.  This lets me know that sixth graders actually have to try and use their brain to answer the game questions correctly.
