It’s from a CO alarm instruction manual. It described the alarm sound as “BEEP BEEP DANGER” and I found it unreasonably funny that they wrote out the beep beep part. 😁
Love the transparency around unguided playtesting being hard. The observation that rule clarity gets tested alongside mechanics is spot-on, people often forget that confusion isnt always about the game itself but how it's explained. When we were testing card games remotley last year, realized documentation quality mattered way more than expected. The structured feedback form approach is smart too, prevents the signal-to-noise problem from scattered comments across platforms.
Just gotta say BEEP BEEP DANGER is such a good name!
Hahaha thank you!

Yeah, doing blind testing (i.e. no guidance at all) is tough! No way to do it other than to just do it and learn from the data.
