UX Crime Solvers: Tools for Finding UX Violations (Online Event)

Can You Spot the UX Problem? A Heuristics Challenge

Put your Design Thinking hats on for another informative UX event.

This event will be Zoom Only
Zoom Reg HERE.

Have you ever used a website or app and thought, "Why is this so frustrating?"
Chances are, it violates one (or more) of Norman Nielsen's famous 10 Usability Heuristics.

Although these principles were introduced more than 30 years ago, they remain one of the most effective tools for evaluating websites, mobile apps, enterprise software, and even today's AI-powered experiences. In fact, many of the usability problems we encounter every day can still be explained by these timeless guidelines.

But this won't be a lecture. This meetup is designed as an interactive challenge where you'll put your UX instincts to the test.

After a quick introduction to each heuristic, we'll examine real-world examples from popular websites and applications. Your challenge is to identify which usability heuristic has been violated before we reveal the answer and discuss why it matters.

Along the way we'll explore:

• The 10 Usability Heuristics and why they're still relevant
• Real examples from modern websites, apps, and software
• Common design mistakes that even major companies still make
• Situations where multiple heuristics may be violated at once
• Tips for using heuristics to improve your own designs and portfolios

Whether you're new to UX or have years of experience, you'll leave with a sharper eye for usability—and you'll probably never browse a website or use an app the same way again.

Bring your curiosity, your opinions, and maybe your favorite (or least favorite) app. There are no wrong answers—only great discussions.

Let me know if you have any questions. Best to PM me on Meetup and/or find me on LinkedIn. Spread the word. Hope to see you there.
