Pros

Cons

Garbage. Annoying and tedious.

They give you the completion code at the beginning. This is for when you complete the game, NOT to turn in the task! You should wait to advance the screen until after you play the game (which is in a separate window).

For each trial, you need to move one of the red dots to the green dot using the arrow keys. Problem is, dots don't move in a logical fashion. Some trials you may get lucky and land quickly. Other trials can take much longer if you get out into the weeds. There are 100 total. YMMV on time.

There is an exit questionnaire/survey at the end.

$9.35 / hour

Pros

I actually found the game to be entertaining and challenging. There actually is a strategy, the blocks don't purely move randomly and once you figure it out it can move quickly. That being said I would never actually be able to explain what the strategy is, but I will say just be methodical and don't mash.

Cons

It is a bit underpaid, could be frustrating for some and take a very long time, 100 trials seems unnecessarily long

Compensation HIT for A2Y0WNHMT4PZ4C(~ 1 minutes) - $4.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$5.99 / hour

00:40:04 / completion time

Pros

The original hit was titled "Finish the game" - this involved playing a game through to the end - requester set up a compensation hit which I really appreciate.

Cons

The game itself was very frustrating - the squares did not move in any logical way - most people managed to finish the game and submit the hit. I, of course, spent so much time on the game that I ran the clock out on MTurk. I wrote to the requester really frustrated just to blow off steam and was not expecting anything.

Advice to Requester

Thank you so much for setting this up for me it was a nice surprise.
