Define & Discover Phase
In the "Define" stage, designers identify and articulate the problem by understanding user needs, setting design criteria, and establishing project scope. This stage sets a clear, actionable problem statement to guide the design. Following this, the "Discover" stage broadens the designer's understanding through market and user research, technological exploration, trend analysis, and stakeholder feedback. This comprehensive approach ensures that designers are well-equipped with insights and a clear direction as they move forward in the design process, laying a solid foundation for innovation and solution development.
Due to abundance of digital games kids between 6-10 experience a problem with lack of outdoor physical activities and interaction with the natural environment during leisure time
Design a competitive game for kids between 6-10 that stimulates their educational and physical growth and can be easily understood and played with parents. The game has to be played outdoors and connected with the natural environment.

Develop Phase
In the ideation stage, designers brainstorm, sketch, and prototype to explore and refine ideas. They seek feedback to improve their concepts, assess feasibility, and narrow down options to the most viable ones. This phase involves creativity and iteration, with detailed documentation of the process for further development.

Deliver Phase
In the deliver stage of the design process, designers finalize prototypes, refine the design, prepare engineering documentation, and liaise with manufacturers to ensure the design is produced accurately. They also design packaging, create user manuals, ensure regulatory compliance, support market launch activities, and collect feedback. This stage is crucial for transforming design concepts into physical products ready for the market, requiring a close collaboration between designers, engineers, manufacturers, and marketing teams to ensure the product meets all functional, aesthetic, and regulatory requirements before and after its launch.
