| Aug 27, 2022 at 20:54 | comment | added | PuzzlingFerret | @AlainReve am I right in thinking you want to collect feedback and ratings? And then maybe pass onto an editor to put in a book? This doesn't really work with the StackExchange model where we want one correct answer, not lots of separate ratings spread out over lots of answer. If you do want general feedback then you'll need to rethink how you ask for it perhaps. | |

Visually appealing or easy to understand and easy to play comes later, that's part of designing the interface. I don't really know what kind of testing the editor will be looking for, I was thinking of a 5 stars rating system at the bottom of the page associated with the question "Can you please tell me how old you are?". Some people on this site are parents. | |

Or perhaps tell us what kinds of testing the editor will be looking for. Keep in mind that no one on the site will be in your target age range (at least legally so, there's a requirement to be 13). | |
| Aug 27, 2022 at 11:16 | comment | added | Alain Reve | What about: I have a problem. I don't know whether this would be a good puzzle for kids (6 to 10 years old). I want to send some examples to an editor. I need to have it tested in some ways (or the editor will probably refuse it). I can't just say "my kids liked it and asked for more". I have a possible solution. Coding an online version. Would this be a good solution with the puzzle as it stands? | |
