When first confronted with the SGG, users often seem a little bewildered. Users don't seem to consult the SGG help icon, and an automatic modal dialog box seems too heavy-handed. An alternative would be a translucent pane that is displayed over the SGG with some brief text: "Click on squares to view activities. Numbers represent the points earned for completing an activity. Locked squares can be unlocked by completing other activities". This pane would disappear after the first click on the SGG.
