Users failed a scenario and learned nothing from it.
- Users could tell what they did wrong without a supervisor explaining it
- Repeat attempts improved measurably instead of being repeated blindly

Overview

Problem
Failure That Teaches
Problem
Users failed a scenario and learned nothing from it.
Cause
Failure was reported as an outcome, not as a consequence the user could trace back to an action.
Solution
Made the consequence visible at the moment of the mistake, and separated the report of what happened from the judgement of whether it passed.
Result
- Users could tell what they did wrong without a supervisor explaining it
- Repeat attempts improved measurably instead of being repeated blindly
Results & Learnings

Takeaways
Training is a game design problem with the entertainment removed and the stakes left in. Feedback timing matters more than fidelity.
