Barrel of truth play test

Rees

1. What was the most frustrating moment or aspect of what you just played?

The fact that there wasn’t a clear enough direction with the game

2. What was your favorite moment or aspect of what you just played?

The fun in this game primarily came from the social aspect of finding out what everyone said about each other

3. Was there anything you wanted to do that you couldn’t?

There wasn’t necessarily any game mechanics besides listen and write, which I can get down with but at the same time I am a sucker for something fun that still makes me think.

4. If you had a magic wand to wave, and you could change, add, or remove anything from the experience, what would it be?

I would try and give more prompts each round and make it so that players felt like there was more of a structure behind what was being asked, so that it didn’t feel like the moderator was just trying to make us jab at each other’s throats for no end purpose. Again, I’m okay with us jabbing at each others throats as long as there’s still a clear reasoning as to why.

5. What should be improved with the next version

Just more direction really, maybe add some more in depth mechanics. Aesthetic was cool af though.

6. What was the games message

I think the message was to see how “friendly” everyone truly is when we sabotage each other directly for no ulterior motives.
