Abstract
A touch-screen game with an easy and difficult level is introduced with two game difficulties carefully designed with the hope that the game can induce lower/higher mental workload on subjects playing the game. Effectiveness of the game in inducing mental workload is assessed both subjectively via surveys and objectively via analysis of heart rate and skin conductance of participating 13 subjects.
