First Week back - Second Prototype

With the second prototype we got the chance to test out our new idea. We decorated the back wall with balloons and ribbons as well as set up our things onto a table, this include fairy bread (a cliche kiwi party treat, consisting of white bread with margarine and hundreds and thousands), party poppers and party hats. We also had the opposite wall indicated for there to be a board to be painted on, we didn't set it up due to how messy it'd be if we had.

The prototype went well, most people who wandered by grabbed some of the fairy bread, someone commented on it that they needed more toppings and for the crusts to be removed. 
The lecturers came around and commented on it highly, they too sharing some memories of the party cliche. They also gave us some feedback and ideas that we could use, this includes; having people play a role of either a parent or child to create a deeper immersion, have other ways of interacting with the customer; wishing them happy birthday. They also commented on the other side of parties, the parents side of having to deal with loud kids doing random stuff and how stressful it is, but the likely hood of us actually doing that is slim due to our audience being mainly <21 years old. They also mentioned the party bags that were handed out at the end of parties.
After the feedback we created the plan to have people role play as those who'd be at a kids party, we also thought about the painting mural and how to keep the customer clean; by having baby wipes to clean their hands and a trash can for the rubbish.
