GameBox Config is a tool I designed to help internal game teams configure GameBox campaigns accurately and efficiently, eliminating the need for manual JSON code entry. This project increased tool adoption and significantly reduced errors in campaign creation, improving overall trust in the platform.
GameBox, an internal tool used by game teams, lacked error prevention and had a complex configuration process. This became evident when an incorrect JSON configuration caused an economic disruption within a game, leading to players receiving unlimited rewards.
Goal: Create a configuration tool that minimizes errors, simplifies the process for non-technical users, and increases adoption across game teams.
I conducted in-depth interviews with 12 game teams across Big Fish Games to understand adoption barriers and usability challenges.
The first design iteration focused on reducing complexity by:
These insights led to a simplified, intuitive interface that still preserved advanced customization.
To eliminate JSON confusion, I proposed a JSON Gift Builder that allowed users to:
The final design was a single-page application restricted to authorized users, ensuring secure campaign creation.
Key Features:
The GameBox Config Tool successfully reduced complexity, increased adoption, and empowered game teams to configure campaigns independently. By applying user-centered design principles, we transformed a high-risk, error-prone system into an intuitive, reliable tool.
