Product Testing Dangers

Recently on a flight, I befriended a young family with a baby and a 3 year old. At Mogeneration we have been working on a kids game called Moo Shake (now in the app store) that makes a bunch of crazy animal sounds. So I decided to let the young girl test it. She loved it, which is great, but she didn’t try shaking it. So shook it and it made more sounds. The flight attendant said we were landing so I clicked the lock button. But the app froze. And the sounds kept playing… very loudly. I couldn’t adjust the volume. I couldn’t switch it off. I hid the phone under my jacket as we landed, and shoved it in my back pocket as I walked out. I got a lot of strange looks about why my bottom was emitting dinosaur sounds. Oh the fun of product testing. :-) Got any good stories?
