After our Concept Validation we narrowed down the concepts to the ones that users responded best to and to the ones that covered a wide range of needs. The design used key components of the collaborative list, puzzle board, and meter system ideas.

Collaborative List

Users universally like the collaborative list that is made in the beginning of the year but, should also be adjustable for change at any time due to the changing needs of the house.

Puzzle Board

Users liked that the board is not in your face in a bothersome way, but on the side where you can choose to view when necessary.

Transparency of who is doing which tasks will motivate others in the house.

Meter System

Users said they would feel guilty if their meter was the lowest.

When users know who is cleaning and who isn't the passive aggressive housemate can confront the lazy housemate with another housemate who isn't as afraid of confrontation.

Users felt that the meter needs to be relative depending on how much of a mess a user makes so that if a housemate is not home very much her meter would know that so that it does not make it look like she is not doing any tasks.
