+ $45+ I'm free
Description: Download an exe/dmg file (Win/Mac) and wander around a Unity-based 3D environment. Requester is from University of Arizona so I had no qualms about doing this. There are 6 rounds of 2 tasks: Spatial Learning and Spatial Pointing. Afterwards there's a quick demographics page on Qualtrics. My time includes the downloading of the file and the uploading of the information to their servers. You will like this hit if you like $45 and/or have good spatial visualization skills, i.e., you can build a map in your head.
Cons
- Satan ascended to inflict this HIT on me, personally- Absolutely beyond tedious... the Spatial Learning wasn't too bad once I figured out where everything was, but the Pointing part went on forever, especially since I have no head for directions and it just repeated the same things over and over. 5 rounds would've been enough. 6 was taking the piss.

Pros
Simple just long.Cons
Very tedious. Download a navigation game and play it six times. Code given after every round. Take your player to several different locations on a city model in overview mode. Then you are placed within the model and must determine where other stores are located based on wherever you are dropped. 56 times each round. You can probably shave off a few minutes if you can determine where you are in the first few rounds. Memorize locations and landscape of targeted area and it's easy to tell where the other buildings are. Took me three rounds to do that but it if you study the model in the first round you should be able to do it easily in all subsequent rounds. Just a hint: your man is always in a store's spot. I don't remember if that was in the instructions or not. Makes it much easier to answer the 56 x 6 questions.

Pros
Super easy game, 3D space, wasd controls + mouse. Memorize the location of shops. Point the compass in the right direction using your memory. Completion time is shorter than what I have recorded I caught the HIT in the middle of lunch.Cons
You have to download an application to do the HIT. You have to type in a code after each block as an attention check. It's a little boring, despite that, it's an excellent HIT.
