Description

5/5 of users in the user tests clicked on the paper dispenser. 0/5 of them found the hidden book. 3/5 read the hint before clicking the dispenser (one having clicked before, but re-examining the dispenser after reading the hint). Also, 2/5 read the hint after clicking on the dispenser and did not re-examine the dispenser (this is ok).

The reward_2 should probably be hidden in some other place that the paper dispenser.

The paper dispenser is too obvious to click - almost everyone will click on it anyway. The players may click the paper dispenser after reading the hint, thinking it is enough to find the book if it is in the dispenser. But they need to hit the bit of book peeking from the dispenser. It's hard to tell if the players got the hint before clicking on the dispenser, but in any case it is not obvious that you need to click on a _part_ of the dispenser, rather than just the dispenser in general.

It would seem that the hidden objects should not be hidden inside anything that is obvious to click on anyway.

It's possible you could make the dispenser clickable and give some examine test, that combined with the hint on the receipt, makes the hiding place work (but does not give it out on its own).

Research direction

Inspect the game content defining reward_2, the paper dispenser, and the receipt hint, then reproduce the reported user-test interactions. Done means the hiding place and examination flow are unambiguous enough that players can use the hint without relying on an obvious dispenser click.
