The real horror? It’s not the prototype that’s broken… It’s her process.

Ever run a usability study that seemed like deja vu?

⇢ Every participant says the same thing.
⇢ You tweak the design.
⇢ You run it again.
⇢ And—still—they can’t find the button!

You've never had a testing session as bad as Evelyn

Meet Evelyn: a mid-level UX designer running a morning of user tests that won’t quit. Every time she adjusts the design, another “Alex” walks in and repeats the same fateful words: “I can’t find the button.”

As the day unravels, Evelyn realizes she’s stuck in more than a bad testing session—she’s caught in a validation loop. Each fix only pulls her deeper into the same mistakes, and each round of testing brings her face-to-face with the one insight she’s been avoiding all along.

Because sometimes, the scariest thing in UX isn’t user feedback…

It’s hearing something you didn’t expect.

​

Join us for a hauntingly familiar tale about deadlines, doubt, and the difference between proving you’re right and learning that you’re not.

Will Evelyn escape the room—or will she keep testing until the end of time?

Tune in to find out… if you dare.
