Around 10–15 people took the test. Lots of others walked by, stared at the poster, read the flyers, hesitated… then kept walking. When we said “hi,” some just walked away. But the ones who did stop? They had great conversations with us.

The positives:

• The fruit visuals were a real hit – people genuinely smiled when they saw their result.
• Several students asked about our May workshops.
• One girl from University College was so excited about our consent workshops that she asked for our contact details to collaborate on a podcast.
• The high school group (around age 16) had just done a consent project and told us our quiz was “actually pretty cool” – high praise from teenagers.
• Even the library staff member who tried it on the go gave us a thumbs up.

What we learned:

• Most participants were satisfied with their results. Some said the fruit fit them well. Others noted it fit them in general but not necessarily in a specific moment or situation, which we actually loved, because it suggests the tool feels fluid rather than fixed. Consent and communication aren’t static, after all. 
• Most participants were young women, Dutch speakers (some nuance lost in translation). 
• Midway through, we added a bowl of chocolates and a separate sheet of paper that simply said: “Come talk to us about social safety in university.” The shift from “dating/consent” to the broader term “social safety” made a noticeable difference. More people felt welcome to approach. Our team realised that sometimes vagueness – paired with chocolate – can lower the conversation barrier.

Feedback to improve:

• The scrolling confused people. They didn’t realise they had to scroll down for the full fruit description. We’ll add a clear prompt.
• The questions felt a bit heavy for a quick library stop. Next time, simplify for “on the go.”
• People wanted to compare fruits with friends – maybe an overview page for the next version?

All in all, a solid day. Good conversations, new sign-ups, and a lot of curiosity. The chocolates are almost gone. That’s a win.
