More exergames with adults

After about a week and half of playing games in the Learning Games Lab, many of the adults have become familiar with the game playing process and are even seeking out extra playing time during lunch for some of their favorite exergames. Some of the most hesitant in the first few days, have surprised me with how relaxed and excited they are about some of these games. Some are even thinking about buying games for their homes.

Some of the exergames that have garnered some positive reactions from the adult group include Active Life: Outdoor Challenge. I was struck by this game because some of the participants gravitating to this game and it's more simple mini games, like jumping rope, kayacking and log roll (jumping over logs).

Playing racing games on a recumbent bike was also a big hit. Participants commented on how much of a workout they got, but still enjoyed playing the game, despite it making them work hard.

Tomorrow we will do another exergame day so it will be interesting which games seem to get the most positive feedback.
