Zodus, a behavioural science start up, is looking to test their problem-solving game and is looking for gransnetters who are 45+ to test the simulation game. The testing will involve playing a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 rounds of the game (each round takes 2-3 minutes) 5 times over a 2 month period. You will not have to play all rounds in one session, you can resume at any time during the test period. In total, it will take about 2 hours of your time (over the 2 month period).

Here’s what Zodus has to say: “FutureSpace is a gamified simulation that captures decision-making in problems similar to retirement. FutureSpace invites players to set goals and then challenges achievements of these with different scenarios of news, events and opportunities. Zodus’ ambition is to help organisations design policies, products and services that work with the grain of human nature.”

If you’re selected, you will be sent a link to the game and will be asked to complete a minimum of 25 rounds over the course of a 2 month period. We will also send you detailed instructions. There will be no feedback thread on Gransnet.

GNers who meet the minimum requirement of 5 rounds in each test will receive a £20 voucher and will also be entered into a prize draw and one person will receive a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Please sign up here if you’d like to take part

Thanks and good luck!

I’m persevering, but to be honest I’m not too sure what I’m doing.... blush

Perhaps all will become clear(er) in the next stage.

From this and the other thread goo.gl/3ZLnuY it seems that this game needs to go back to the drawing board.

I'd be happy to have a go

Just received an email and looked at the results so far. It seems that we have churned out some statistics for people far cleverer than me to work with.
I hope stage 2 is more interesting though.

I have no idea whether I did well or not and it was very boring. Stage 2 coming up. Hope it’s more interesting hmm
