Process
During the process our final concept has been through four iterations. These will be shortly explained below, together with the related design phases.
Iteration 1 - Pressure Cooker, Biodiversity game
Orientation
Research
Ideation
Conceptualization
We focused on orienting ourselves in the field of data collection. We decided to create a game in which people could map biological life and battle with the captured plants and animals.

Iteration 2 - From Scientific Discovery Games to Citizen Participation in Urban Planning
Orientation
Research
Ideation
Conceptualization
Extensive research was conducted to map out the scientific context surrounding Games for Data Collection. This eventually made us able to develop an innovative concept.

Iteration 3 - Concept Development
Ideation
Research
Prototyping
After the initial concept was chosen, a lot of time went into the ideation and a more specified conceptualization of our idea. More research was performed to better understand citizen participation.

User-testing
Analyzation
All focus was on the realization of our idea. Reserach on our initial assumed problem was performed and user-tests were conducted. Results from validation and user-tests were analyzed.
