The Witness Editor User Study

In this study, we are studying AI assistive tools. You will be asked to create two levels for The Witness.
Before you get started, here are the rules of the game:
example puzzlesolution of the example puzzle
  • You must draw a non-self-crossing path along the grid lines starting from the designated start junction (the circle) and ending at the goal junction (the notch extended from the grid line).
  • The constraints must be fulfilled:
    Path Constraints:
    • MustCross Constraint
      The path must cross the constraint
    • CannotCross Constraint
      The path cannot cross the constraint
    Region Constraints:
    • Separation Constraint
      The constraint must be separated from different coloured separation constraints in the same region
    • Star Constraint
      The containing area must have exactly one other region constraint with the same color
The study starts with training levels where you can practice the mechanics on levels from the game.
Next, please use these levels as the foundation of new levels that you create. Aim to create levels that will be interesting to players.
Finally, let us know about your experience.
