The Lens of Flow

To use this lens, consider what is holding your player’s focus. Ask yourself these questions:

• Does my game have clear goals? If not, how can I fix that?
• Are the goals of the player the same goals I intended?
• Do parts of the game distract players so they forget their goal? If so, can these distractions be reduced, or tied into the game goals?
• Does my game provide a steady stream of gradually increasing challenges?
• Are the player’s skills improving as expected? If not, how can I change that?
