I think this could do with a fair amount more refinement. How do guests interact with the gumballs? How does the timer work? This seems pretty rough still.

I think that this is a good concept to view and looking at how the tracks could be played out. It may have been nice to a have an actual model to look at and see, even if it was just a scaled down version. It also may have been helpful to explore different types of track to see if people preferred one over the other and if one would appear much harder than the other.

The room layout for this game is really crucial to the overall experience (including the difficulty of the experience). The track layout presented looks feasible, except for the initial track from the gumball machine. Will there be a motor in the gumball machine to propel the gumball up along the track? It seems simpler to me to use gravity and have the gumball start near the top of the wall and change the perspective of the gumball machine to accommodate this.

Good idea to map out the three walls. Looks great and very clear. But remember that the walls of the 5 Wits rooms are 10 feet... so you may not want branches up that high. Maybe add humans to the model/ dimension the models more accurately.

Seems a lot like a reiteration of the storyboard. I don't think this provided a lot of added details that I'd expect to see at this stage.

I think that this was a good model though as said before, it may ova been nice to have a small scaled physical model. It would have been nice to have more than just a sketch, seemed like it was more like a concept sketch than a sketch model. Also would have been nice if you explored varying layouts or made it more clear what each thing in the layout was.

Nice use of Illustrator! However, this sketch model doesn't feel very complete and I'm not sure what conclusions can be drawn from it about the layout of the track. It would have been nice to present a few different layouts of the track for comparison purposes and to discuss the pros/cons of the different track layouts. Also, labeling the overall room layout (first graphic) would help with clarity.

Very clear and looks great, but I would have liked to see more on the gumball machine... How far do you want it to come out of the room? I guess that would depend on the size of the gumballs with depend on the size of the tracks on the wall.
