Play This Fun Game to Learn About Bad Interface
If a website has ever annoyed you with too many pop-ups, silly menus, or millions of tests to prove you are human, then the User Inyerface web game will drive you crazy by making you laugh.
This game from design and tech firm Bagaar invites you to simply sign up for a website while going through horribly badly designed forms and menus. You will have to manually avoid pop-ups, look for hidden links, avoid buttons that spoil your work, and comply with ridiculous password requirements.
The game only lasts a few minutes, but they will seem like hours of sweet agony. (This reminds us of the infamous flash game Frog Fractions .) User Inyerface demonstrates that a poorly designed application or website appears to be a complex but highly objectionable video game. The next time you have to go to a bad website for your insurance company, community theater, or local government, remember this game and maybe the little shooting pain in your temples will go away.
And if you know the designer, send him the link. They will love you for it.
