The purpose of this project is to test and improve people’s ability of face recognition. Although there are some tests on the internet with the same purpose, the problem is that people may feel bored and give up before finishing the tests. Consequently they may not benefit from testing nor from training. To solve this problem, face recognition and online game are put together in this project. The game is supposed to provide entertainment when people are playing, so that more people can take the test and improve their abilities of face recognition. In the game design, the game is assumed to take place in the face recognition lab, which is an imaginary lab. The player plays the main role in this game and asked to solve a number of problems. There are several scenarios waiting for the player, which mainly need face recognition skills from the player. At the end the player obtains the result of evaluation of her/his skills in face recognition.
