Abstract
This paper presents the results of a heuristic evaluation of Candy Crush Saga, considering Usability, Playability, Accessibility and Sociability categories and with a special focus on the game adaptation to different generations and to intergenerational interactions and communication. The heuristic inspection was performed by 16 evaluators and was based in a model with 4 inspection categories and a total of 57 heuristics. Results suggest that improvements can be made and the game is only partially adapted to different generations.
