The Lens of Challenge

Challenge is at the core of almost all gameplay. You could even say that a game is defined by its goals and challenges. When examining the challenges of your game, ask yourself these questions:

  • What are the challenges in my game?
  • Are they too easy, too hard, or just right?
  • Can my challenges accommodate a wide variety of skill levels?
  • How does the level of challenge increase as the player succeeds?
  • Is there enough variety in the challenges?
  • What is the maximum level of challenge in my game?
