The Multitasking Maze
Use this game to study the effects of multitasking on productivity and cycle times. Press "Start," click on the box with the smiley face, and guide the smiling box through the maze with the mouse. Click and release the mouse button, then move the mouse; do not click and drag! When the smiley face moves to a different box, you must move the mouse to that box and click on it. The first time through you will switch between red and blue boxes; the second time you must stay on the same box until the maze is finished. Be sure to keep the mouse within the boundaries of the maze, or you'll have to re-click! Press "Start" to re-start the game at any time. (Note: Javascript must be enabled to play this game!)
