Target group & persona

Group: Dutch family’s with children in the age group from 5 – 15 + tourists

The age group for this game is hard to decide. But especially for families with children it’s really fun to play. The important thing is understanding and being able to work with an iPad. Kids younger than 5 years old are not able to understand the iPad well enough to play an actual game on it. The group a little older will learn what to do according to videos and text which parents are able to help out with. 

For parents it has to be interesting and fun to do as well. There’s information and a fun trip, which will be enjoyed for the entire day. The target group of family’s will be the one who’s the most appealing. They’ll take days of like this and will do one of the tours.

Meeting report and assignments list:


In order to learn as much as we can, we have to redefine our personal developments and goals connected with the project. We have to define them more precisely and make them more specific and useful. Just keep them simple and clearly connected to special activities that will contribute to our development.

:::

We already discussed function and responsibilities of individual members and decided the following:


Visual design and production:
Virginia and Emily
Content design:
Nieke
Project manager
Pavlina

User experience
We will do this part together, right after development of concept, because it is important that each member of the group contributes their own views and suggestions on user experience.

Tourists and their interests


We have to take into account that modern tourists are very proactive and that they search for the information in advance. That is why there exist numeorus web pages, where we/they can check about all of the neccessary information they need about the destination, travel, sightseeings, stories connected to the destination etc.
However, some researches have been made about tourists who are coming to Holland. They were asked about their views, interest and associations connected to Holland.
To get that information NBTC has conducted an image survey in the five most important countries of origin of foreign tourists who visit the Netherlands: Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, United States and France.
One of the general conclusions that may be drawn might be helpful for our research and our project.
The respondents associate the Netherlands mainly with the old icons, such as tulips,
cheese, windmills and bicycles. The 'soft' attributes like friendliness/friendly people also score well;
