Thank you for participating in our study!


You will play the Predator-Prey game. You are a predator, and your goal is to capture the prey as many times as you can!

We are testing 3 different sets of teammates that use artificial intelligence (AI). You will play alongside 2 AI teammates to help you capture the prey.

Every 8 rounds, you will answer a survey about your teammates. After completing the survey, we will change the set of teammates.


Use the arrow keys or the WASD keys to move your player (marked with an "X").

You and your team will be red predators, chasing the blue prey.


You will have 2 rounds to practice and get familiar with the game. You will then play 3 sets of 8 rounds, with your AI teammates changing every set.

The prey will have a short duration of immunity every time it is captured. When the prey is immune, it will turn yellow.

Time remaining is shown at the top, and number of captures made by the team is shown at the bottom.


Please ensure the entire game fits in the screen. If you need to zoom out, press [Ctrl + -] or [Ctrl + (Scroll Wheel Down)].
