* the site has a POLL on ecological themes, maybe 3 questions (When
do you plan to buy an electric car? Within 2,3, 5 years? Would
you switch to Wind powered energy at home, even if it increases
your payments by 2, 4, 7, 10%? Do you help friends or family to
change their habits towards more eco friendlysolutions, if yes
how?) After answering the questions, the chat box changes tone
completely. “You have entered the BTL zone”. It is asked to
answer what BTL means : (can you guess what BTL means?) and lists
the 7 k words the user has properly used to open the zone, as he
or she was recognized by the system. In other words, the visitor
seems to have been mistakenly granted permission to enter a secret
portal where secret underground ecological mission are taken
place. The visitor could be presented with a new questionaire
asking him/her to create a new profile/identity, good for an
undisclosed period of time. A new chat box appears, more personal
in its tone, this is a real person on the other side talking to
you (of course it’s a fake). It’s as if the visitor, who answered
the 3 questions, actually entered a secret zone available only to
agents.
I like the idea of the innocent poll that leads to the mistakenly
granted permission :). There should be a strong visual change from the
poll chat to the secret entrance, so that the player understands that
he's not supposed to be there...
I think that for the profile/identity, we should wait a little more - we
should show the game a little before asking the user to subscribe.
I'm eager to discuss how it can be made that the player is mistakenly
taken for an agent but at the same time justify that the player is new
to the field (he'll need to be trained) - will the contact realize that
it was a mistake, and how will he react ?
On the side, one note on the activity : you write 'secret underground
ecological mission', I wonder if we should reduce it this way. I mean,
the organization has a broad goal that includes environment but at the
same time the missions will not be all directly related to environment I
think, so I'm not sure how to approach the qualification of missions.
It's a good start for me, I want to dig into that :)
