Challenge Summary
The Hermes Ubergame is a points based scoring system that will rate users across all of the different areas of the Hermes web site. Users will earn points through a mixture of skill based and non-skill based activities. Users will be able to measure themselves against their peers, and eventually win prizes or earn material goods based on point accumulation.
The system must be easily accessible so that all applications on the Hermes web site may award points to users with minimal coding changes, thus encouraging adoption from other portions of the site. Administrators will be provided with a web interface that allows them to register applications with the Ubergame and set limits on available points awarded by day, month, year, or lifetime to a particular user on any given application.
Users will be provided with a small community site that allows them to view their total number of points, and to query their point breakdown by application and timeframe. Users will also be able to compare their results and ranking against other users or groups of users based on those users? properties, application, application category, and group membership. The Ubergame will integrate with the existing Hermes user management system for authentication and profile information.
This contest is the continuation of the Ubergame Wireframe Tournament. ESPN is looking to the Studio Community to help them design the user interface and workflow of their new Ubergame website.
The goal of this contest is to produce Storyboards that accurately capture the website requirements and user flow so Aphaea has a clear understanding of their new website's user interface.
