Prompt text

Use case: ui-mockup / derived play mechanic: first-run-friction-hunt
Asset type: GPT Image 2 derived-play gallery image, wide 16:9 printable UX QA game overlay
Primary request: Create a polished derived play image titled "First-Run Friction Hunt". It should look like an original usability game built from a fictional mobile onboarding flow for "Pocket Orchard". Show a single continuous horizontal tap-through strip with five simplified phone snapshots, each overlaid with one hidden friction token for players to find, circle, name, and repair.
Game mechanic: Players use colored annotation tokens to identify: "no skip", "too many choices", "dead empty state", "permission too early", "desktop pattern". Then they place repair cards below the flow: "add skip", "reduce choices", "make first CTA", "ask in context", "use bottom nav". Include a small scoring track: Spot, Name, Repair, Retest, Pass.
Composition: Not a 2x2 or 2x3 grid. Make it a long playmat-style UX audit strip with phone snapshots, transparent red issue halos, green repair arrows, and a bottom row of repair cards. The artifact should be clearly digital/printable, not a physical tabletop game photo.
Text: Keep all text short and readable. Include footer stamp "derived play / fictional app / pattern inspiration only". Include a tiny safety/source note icon but no external URLs in the image.
Visual style: clean product-design workshop aesthetic, off-white background, graphite UI wireframes, muted orchard green, coral issue markers, crisp icons, professional editorial polish.
Avoid: no real brands, no real platform logos, no app-store badges, no real people or faces, no public figures, no politics, no medical/legal/financial advice, no copyrighted characters, no copied UI, no dense tiny text, no dashboard, no menu, no map, no physical controller, no macro product shot, no 2x3 research board.
