Welcome to the first EuroIA UX Treasure Hunt!
The Treasure Hunt is on for those attending the 6th ASIS&T European Information Architecture Conference, September 23-25 in Paris, France.
Crews have to provide the Captain and his Mate with flesh and blood proof of astoundingly good or awfully bad UX to be found in the streets of the city, in the rooms of the hotels, or in the comfort of a cozy bistro, by means of photos, videos, and pirate maps where x marks the spot.
The best crew brings home a full set of those shiny Rosenfeld Media UX books.
The losers walk the plank.

KRAKEN
The first night I wanted to take a shower. I went into the tiny bathroom and found only a basin and the toilette. But no shower.
I was a bit surprised because I remembered reading about ‘private bathroom’ on the website when I booked the room. But since this actually was a hostel, I was fine with using a shared shower.
So in order to have a shower I undressed, wrapped a towel around my waist and started to march in my flip-flops up and down the corridor of the floor to find the common shower. Checked each door, looked each corner. After like 5 minutes I gave up: I couldnt find it.
So now being sure that it was me who misunderstood the features of the hotel on the website and also determined to get cleaned up, I started to wash up in this small basin.
And just when I leaned over the basin I noticed something between the wall and the door. A narrow line of shade, which on second look turned out to be a hole in the wall: The entrance to my shower!
Fact 1: The entrance of the shower reveals itself only if you close the door of the bathrooom. In such a small room, for a bigger guy like me, this is truly a challenging task.
Fact 2: no signs at all to indicate that there was a shower behind the door.
This was a bad user experience.

A fine spatial categorization of cheeses. the only thing it doesn’t mention is the impact on dreams!
I can’t insert the picture from an iPad, but believe me it’s beautiful!
