A game where players interfacing with a camera, and using a Shisha or vaping device, blow O-rings and perform other technical tricks to score points on their technical ability and control.

'O-Day' is a gamification of 'smoking tricks' - controlling the smoke blown, and helps players develop greater control and technique in a fun and challenging way.

Rules:

• Player sit two metres away from the webcam, with the screen directly below (or in the same line of sight.) The image of the webcam is shown on screen.
• The commands of what trick the player must perform, such as:
  
  • Blow three rings within 5 seconds, or;
  • Marks an 'X' on a part of the screen and the player must blow a ring as close to it as possible

• Points are awarded on:
  
  • accuracy – how successfully they satisfied the challenge;
  • control – how much excess smoke was blown, and;
  • difficulty of the challenge or level they're playing at.

O-Day uses the webcam to identify the smoke blown by people and track them on the screen in real-time. This is done by recognition of the colour and movement of smoke interpolated over time.

Platform: Desktop for PC/ Mac, using a webcam.
Target Audience: R18, for adults 18 years and older.

A music driven game (similar to the genre of Dance, Dance, Dance, Revolution), where players using their bodies, follow on-screen directives to complete dance moves of the style, finger tutting.

'Finger tutting' is a type of dance that involves intricate movements of the fingers. The word "tutting" is a street dance based on angular movements done in sequence and combinations.͚

Finger Tutting͛ uses the Xbox Kinect camera to register human hand, body movement and speed. The TV projects their image, along with superimposed lines and geometry, acting as prompts for player movements to mimic. Thegame is heavily music-driven, so following in time are songs (mainly of the electronic and hip hop genre) that typically reflect the tutting intensity pace, combos.

Players control the game predominantly with their hands, but body position is included as the level of the difficulty increases. Points are awarded based on:

• Timing of moves, and how closely they follow the directives on-screen
• Multipliers based on how many successful moves have been continuously achieved, which resets
• back to zero when failed.
• The level of difficulty selected.

The hip hop sub-culture of finger tutting has a wide community of promoters/ followers, and a large part in the game creates value by featuring recognizable moves and combos from these famous stars. The same cue is taken with the inclusion of currently popular songs that exist in this sub-culture. Pop culture plays a large factor in this. Following along with popular songs, mimicry of high end moves is a meta element to creates a very attractive unique selling point (USP). This USP is similar to that of Sing Star and Guitar Hero.

Though predominantly single or two-player, there is scope to accommodate split-screen online competitive gameplay.

Platform: Microsoft Xbox, with Kinect camera

Target Audience: Teenagers aged 16-24 years old.

Mosaic is a puzzle-based time attack where players watching blurred images, guess the name, subject, and answer other questions about it, done under a pressure of time.

In starting a new game, a player encounters a heavily distorted image. A countdown begins from a predetermined amount, and the picture proceeds to un-blur, growing sharper in fidelity and contrast, until the original image is visible again. Players have until the time runs out to answer questions concerning the image's specific details. These questions typically reflect:

• People or objects in view
• Presence of landscape objects such as land, sea, sky
• Emotion
• Famous landmarks

Each level loads a different image, which progressively becomes more abstract and specific, covering esoteric or advanced questions. For instance, fine art paintings with advanced questions normally relegated to armchair theologians with specialised knowledge.

You are awarded points based on how many questions you answered. The point scale multiplies and rewards you the more questions are answer, effectively being a measure of how well and quickly you can discern the blurred images.

The inspiration behind this game is from the use of Captcha. Captcha verifies against bots (non-human users) by getting them identify augmented words and letters in images. As well as this, this is used to aid a deep learning algorithm is optical recognition of printed text.

This game applies the idea of gamification, to crowd source the info for machine of software to understand images in a more intuitive sense – for instance emotional nuances, wider context (two people getting married at a wedding), further to objective and literal details (tree, man, woman). Ultimately, this presence a novel way to develop Artificial General Intelligence (A.G.I.).

A single player RPG game for PC/ Mac Desktop involving puzzles, where players using their hands, virtually reassemble broken artefacts, to uncover the story of an ancient civilization.

You play as an archaeologist, and you are at a site of an ancient civilization - recently unknown up until now. Very little is known about the people, how they lived, or what brought about their inevitable demise. The only clues you have are from the broken pieces of relics that you are uncovering.

They are broken, but not irreparable, and your task is to carefully put the pieces of the relics back together.

Using hand gestures through the magic leap, manipulate the pieces in virtual 3D space, reattaching each piece as they become available:

• Left hand manipulates the world space, and the rotation, movement around the workspace.
• Right hand is used to reattach the pieces back in place.

If the piece is correctly fits, it will stay in place, and each piece reassembled unlocks a part of the story.

This game is designed to promote science and archaeology (for children), and to be a sociology thought-piece (for adults). The completion of artefacts is meant to create a palpable feeling of closure, and the story uncovers, players feel the significance and connection between the narrative and the artefacts they reassembled. The themes for the game take cues from human philosophy and sociology, proposing that given human nature, history tends to be cyclical.

Platform: PC/ Mac Desktop, using Magic Leap.
Target Audience: General audiences - children and adults alike

A VR simulator where you guide a person making a vase on a pottery wheel.

You have recently passed away in an untimely death, having left behind your lover and now exist as a ghost.

It really was unfortunate - having splurged big to get her that device she always wanted, only to find your girlfriend is unbelievably uncoordinated. Now you are gone, it weighs heavy on you seeing her in such a pitiful state. So much so that you have one last task to complete before you can truly move on into the afterlife - help your uncoordinated lover master the art of pottery.

Players start each level inside an art studio with a picture of a vase that your girlfriend would like to complete.

Standing behind her and using the handle controls for the Vive, guide her hands as the wheels turn, helping her complete the vase. This is no easy task - the speed of rotation, the right amount of water to avoid the clay getting too soft or dry, this takes a lot of control and artistic flair - several things your girlfriend lakes severely.

Help her complete the vase before 'unchained melody', by the Righteous Brothers, playing in the background finishes.

This game is modelled after real-world physics of pottery, so players can get a real sense of what it is like. Every level, the vases get more detailed and complex. Complete the tasks and finally be able to move on into the afterlife.

This game isn't about love, or ghosts - it's about hand eye coordination.

Platform: HTC Vive for PC Desktop
Target Audience: Young adults aged 18 years or older, and anyone who has seen 'Ghost'.

You are a ninja in todays day and age, where technological advancements are essentially rendering your occupation and way of life obsolete. Paid assassinations come fewer and far in-between, resulting in a desire for a career change. Fortunately, there's an always-available occupation that perfectly suits your particular set of skills - handing out flyers on the busy streets of the city.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for busy people to notice you when you've trained your whole life to be stealthy, so you devise a strategy - deliver flyers to unsuspecting passers-by in typical ninja-like fashion.

Players must navigate their way around busy metropolis blocks, approaching pedestrians and cars to deliver discount coupons and flyers to retail stores. You start off with a marginal ability to blend into backgrounds and climb stuff. As you progress, your experience points earned allow you to learn and develop new abilities in the skill-tree system. For instance, ninja-star throwing DLE flyers accurately into handbags and back pockets; or super speed, making the world move in slow motion as you dart around doing your job.

Now, as sweet a plan as it sounds, some folks may frown upon your way of doing things, so be careful as to not to be caught in the act. Getting caught too often will cause pedestrians to call the police, and/or fight you themselves - and that just won't do, cause your a spam ninja, with stealthy skills and a quota of flyers to fill, so be brave and be careful.

A barista simulator for mobile devices. Players create 'latte art', the patterns formed with the mixing of the frothed milk and extracted coffee into the cup.

This game is designed as a realistic simulation of the coffee making process, with a unique selling benefit of players gaining some knowledge of how latte art is achieved while playing. The effects of gravity, temperature, density and characteristics of liquid is replicated to create a sense of realism - baristas should attest to the behaviour as being close to the real thing.

Real coffee types are used, as well as players being able to select different ground types - these help build a players understanding of effects on coffee colour, contrast, ease of pattern-making, and the overall effect on the coffee (bitterness, mellowness, aftertaste).

Game Rules:

• Players select the coffee type (country of origin), grind
• Select extraction method (long, short) on the machine
• Heat the milk, following on-screen instructions
• Combine the milk with the coffee, while it is being extracted.

The combining aspect is the core aspect of 'Latter Art'. Players are given a top-down view of the coffee cup (resembling how this is carried out in real-life). Using one hand to balance the device, the other hand simulates the 'pouring' of the frothed milk. The devices' accelerometer is used to simulate balance and reinforce the need for control, while pouring the milk is simulated by touching the screen - indicating this is where the player wants to pour the milk.

Players have until the coffee cup is entirely filled - go over cause spillage, which is bad. Players are graded on parameters:

• Bitterness/sweetness balance
• Temperature
• Latte art design
• Overall quality of coffee serve

Designs can be submitted online through social media photo sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, as well as footage through Periscope. This overall, contributes to the aspect of promoting and learning a pliable skill through gamification.

Sandwich Maestro is a vibrant and whimsical puzzle-solver for single-player, where players construct sandwiches to order, following constraints of customers orders, available ingredients and recommended dietary constraints - all to the rhythm of kooky-slapstick music, eye-popping colors and modular graphics.

The game is played on desktop platforms (Windows/ Mac OSX), using a typical mouse and QWERTY keyboard. The display shows a production-line style game screen showing sets of 'orders' that need to be filled.

Each order consists of a particular burger with possible parameters that could be:

• Maximum, minimum or exact height of the sandwich.
• Maximum amount of calories allowed
• Specific ingredients required to be included.

For each set you have a limited inventory of ingredients available to use in that particular set. Some sets require all ingredients to be used inthe entire set, while still fulfilling every other requirement. Ingredients are what you typically find in a burger (breads, meats, salad/vegetables, pickles & toppings). Ingredients are uniquely defined by the following:

• Height added to the sandwich.
• Calories
• Food type identifier (specific meat type, gluten free etc)

On top of this, game rules add the constraint that no two of the exact ingredients can be stacked consecutively.

The purpose for the game is to use the ingredients at your disposal to fulfil each order, and to see how many sets you can complete. This is no time limit, as Sandwich Maestro approaches gameplay like a jigsaw puzzle solving problem. Players will find as they progress, sets become more challenging, with more constraints to comply with, more/less ingredients, specific height specifications.

Platform: Desktop PC/ Mac
Target Audiences: Children aged 7 year sand specific

A time-attack puzzle game, where players take a word and using swipe gestures, eliminate letters to break down and form newer words.

The environment is in the style of Tetris, where players see upcoming words coming up, make decision, with the purpose of scoring the highest amount of points at a chosen difficulty level before the time runs out.

With each word, players have the following moves available to them:

• Swipe up on individual letters to 'burn' them away, leaving the remaining letters to concatenate;
• Swipe down on anyway to submit the newly formed word;
• Swipe left/right to finish the particular word, either indicating that there are no remaining words to be formed from the letters. Doing this 'banks' the accumulated points made so far with that word.

Players are scored by the accumulation of points made within the allotted time. The points given at each 'tier' – the amount of different words have been submitted, the accumulation follow a points multiplier system, which begins at 1 point, and doubles for every successfully submitted word. A new word resets the multiplier to start again at 1 point.

When a word is submitted to the next tier by swiping down, if a word does not exist, the accumulated points will be lost, and a portion of your available time is taken away.

There are increasing levels of difficulty, reflected in the difficulty of words, that would typically be more unfamiliar; and how many upcoming words can be seen in advance.

Platform: Mobile devices for Android and iOS.

'Thin slicing', is the human tendency to draw large conclusions or assumptions about something or someone based on a comparatively small amount of information.

'60 Second Thin Slice', is a social media game played on Facebook, using a webcam that tests your ability to read others and yourself. Randomly matched players spend a short amount of time with each other, competing on their ability to read others and themselves; and deceive or be deceived.

The game is an exercise in both understanding your own body language and others; and in developing greater presentation and interpretation of body language (communication is only 10% verbal, and the majority is body language). The application of Meyer Briggs Type Indicator is that by understanding someone's and your own archetypal personalities, temperaments; one is able to understand and communication more effectively.

This game is inspired from a paper published MIT's media lab, about their algorithm that can detect different types of smiles (http://www.wired.co.uk/article/mit-fake-smile-dete...); and the use of Meyer Briggs Type Indicator theories to define people based on body language (http://www.intpforum.com/showthread.php?p=142393).

Game Rules:

• Player's register by taking a Meyer Briggs Type Indicator test, which is used to create their avatar with their own personality type (see: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-typ...)
• A Player links up via Facebook using a webcam with their face in view
• Player is matched randomly to an available player
• You are given then given 60 seconds of screen time with each other.
• There is no rules regarding who can talk, and what is required, other than every player's face must be in view the entire time.
• At the countdown each person answers 4 binary questions about their opponent:
  
  • Introverted/ Extroverted?
  • Sensing/ Intuition?
  • Thinking/ Feeling?
  • Judging/ Personality?
• An evaluation of who that person is based on your answers in presented, and compared with their actual type.

• Players that succeed (either one, both or none) as graduated into a higher tier of others with the same success rate, or play again in the same tier.
• Every tier has a maximum number of failures (in correctly reading your opponent) you can have before you are dropped down to the tier below. This prevents people from guessing their way to higher tiers.

The goal is to correctly observe other people's type, and to climb the tier's as high as you can - higher tiers mean a better ability to read others. The key to winning is by being aware of how you communicate and being sensitive in your observations. For instance, telling a bad joke, and eliciting a forced, sarcastic laugh, can give you as much information to go with as much as a genuine laugh. The key therefore, is being in control of your opponent and yourself.

Platform: Any device with a high-resolution webcam, internet connection, and high definition screen, using a Facebook account.
Target Audience: Adults - professionals involved in human resources, communication.

A 2D sidescroller, which satirises 90's TV sitcoms. The game features a branching narrative, which serves as the core driving aspect of game play - players must unlock all the possible plot and narrative possibilities by completing the levels with all combinations of characters.

The game mechanics follow the formula of Super Mario World, where the MC takes a 'journey' - a string of pearls narrative, as he reaches the inevitable ending of the game. 'Anatomy of a Sitcom Plot Recipe', creating a multi-branching tree of 'what if' single narratives that the player is in control of unlocking – this is the purpose of the game.

Players take control of an ensemble team of 6 unique characters, which are all players at the same time and cycled through by the player as they traverse each level - similar to 'Little Big World'. Each character is based on typical TV character tropes:

• The eccentric head case
• The quiet pragmatic loner
• The over-sensitive dumb muscle head
• The self-righteous cynic
• The ideal hero
• The clumsy girl next door

Players begin in a game lobby, where you select which character starts off. The game always begins and ends in this central location, with the same characters - much like an episodic TV sitcom. What makes the game interesting is the 'butterfly effect'-like theme, which changes levels and narratives slightly or drastically. Each time a player completes a narrative in a unique way - a different narrative unfolds, with different levels unlocked.

The levels take after the narrative formula, in the form of Acts:

• Act I: The Introduction. This will be the same level in every new beginning, with small subtle details altered with every character. These subtleties become more noticeable as more narratives are unlocked
• Act II: Incident. Something occurs.
• Act III: The Journey.
• Act IV: The Twist.
• Act V: The Heroic Struggle.
• Act VI: The 'Ending'.

Each 'level' may be the same in same cases, or lead to completely new levels and plot developments, depending on the circumstances of how the level was reached. Much like TV sitcoms back in the day, will feature the full spectrum of TV known tropes - ranging from ridiculous OTT sci-fi situations, romance tropes, and 4th wall breaking meta (i.e. the game characters are self-aware, know they are game characters).

In this game, no one really 'dies', but lead to one of many possible endings. Of course, if all your characters die, or you find yourself following the exact same path, you purpose of unlocking all narrative and endings will be effectively stymied. This is how the game handles the staple concept of 'lives' in video game lore - you don't every experience a 'game 'over' screen, but practically you never finish.

Essentially this game explores all things memorable able TV sitcoms of the 1990s. It is deliberately methodical in approach, and out rightly uses the stale, linear format, and to explore how this exact constraint made TV sitcoms so diverse.

Platform: Gaming consoles: Microsoft Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Wii U.
Target Audience: Young Adults/ Adults.

A single-player, puzzle game involving spatial reasoning and logic with geometric problems. A unique selling point is Dommiiinno gamifies an aspect of current mobile technology in a novel way.

Dommiiinno can be compared to dominos, where one falling over hits another nearby, creating a knock-on effect. The physical characteristic of this is replaced with colour. Players, given a top-down view of geometry arrangements, have to change the colour of a particular shape - say a triangle in the middle of the arrangement, by touching another shape nearby, which changes it's colour and any adjacent shapes nearby, causing a knock-on effect. Players are scored by how intermediary shapes can be affected, before ending up at the target shape.

Control is through the 3D touch functionality of the iPhone. 3D touch allows players to 'test' out the effectiveness of particular shapes before committing. When a shape is selected, a temporary colour change on the selected shape is shown, along with a limited preview of how nearby shapes may be affected. Exerting harder down-pressure indicates commitment and causes the puzzle result to be carried out. Players are able to use this ability to deduct the best route to take.

The level of effect is determined by the shapes' relative area. For instance, a tiny triangle will have no effect on a larger one, but a larger triangle will affect smaller shapes nearby. Shapes' adjacent sides determine proximity.

Dommiiinno is designed as beautiful and relaxing logic game, with no time constraints, and with the purpose of challenging a player's logical and deductive reasoning in a calm, tranquil environment.

Platform: iOS on newer iPhones with 3D touch capability.
Target Audience: General Audience.

Escalation is a touch-screen driven racing game for mobile devices, where players race to the finish line at the top of a 6-lane wide escalator.

You play as a salary-man late for work, which leads you to furiously switching lanes past obstacles (i.e. slow people who don't move aside on escalators). It is set in the future, with ridiculously long escalators like in the Jetsons, and to throw in a good measure of competition, you race against other late-for-work salary men and women.

Controls consist of two gestures:

• Swipe left/right to switch between lanes and;
• Tapping quickly to run.

Each level you play against three A.I. characters. The lanes are fantastically long and wind to and fro like a crazy 6-lane water slide. This purpose of arriving at the finish line first is done by choosing the most efficient route possible, switching lanes to avoid obstacles or when lane s converge, switching to a shorter route.

Lanes which run in the opposite direction may seem like the shorter route, but may have less obstacles, or link up to shortcuts. Furthermore, going the same direction as your opponents makes it difficult to overtake them. All this considered, a certain level of tactics is required on top of rapid-tapping.

On the screen U.I. there is a countdown clock, showing the minimum time you must reach the finish line before you are unavoidably late, which also serves as a method to measure a players score.

Platform: Mobile device Android and iOS.

'Play Money' is a finance simulator based on the stock market. It is an introduction to trading for absolute beginners, simulating a simplified representation of stock price behaviour based primarily on (fictional) current events, and how the price of shares and money behaves in the finance eco-system.

Players begin the game with a certain amount of capital, and through making trades - 'buying' and 'selling' shares in certain companies, their goal is to maximize profits from their investments, and increase their capital. Time is accelerated by a factor of 1 day per minute in real-time.

The game U.I. consists of a large display of prices shown in real time of performance:

• The name of each listed company
• Their share price today
• A graph showing the trend in their share price value over the last month
• The total equity of the company

In the lower third of the U.I. shows text updates of current events, which the players use to predict changes in prices of companies.

Example:

"Company X announces the resignation of CEO, Mr. Doe following public outcry over insider trading evidence.
Company X also announces plans to spend 26 million on a company logo redesign",

Sees a sudden drop in Company X share prices, and steady rise of Corporation Y share prices.

The core game play components for players is simplified drastically into two key areas:

• Trading - trading is simplified to buying and selling numbers of shares. This is done effectively through understand their holdings, and learning to observe their own performance to make calculated decisions on what to buy and sell.
• Speculating - this defines the act of observing patterns of behaviour between current events and how stock prices are effected; how the performance of other companies in the same sector affects others, and the cyclical nature of the stock market as a whole when external forces are introduced (for example, the introduction of company researching disruptive technology going public).

This is an iteration of the game, 'Jenga' by Milton Bradley, that is played between you and your flatmates (that are most probably all males) at times when there is a disagreement over who should do rubbish duty (taking out the trash, cleaning and relining the bin).

This..

Plus this..

Equals Rubbish Jenga.

Rubbish Jenga is inspired from the curious phenomena that occurs when a house full of flatmates encounter a full rubbish bin, and rather than doing everyone else a favour by emptying it out, instead choose to overstuff the bin by continuing to carefully balance another piece of trash top of the pile, like a pastry chef placing the bride & groom figurine on top of a wedding cake. This stems from the 'It's-not-full-until-something-falls-to-the-floor' rule, and results in an indoor, dome-shaped petri dish.

With the above serving as a prerequisite, Rubbish Jenga is called in to decide fair and square the person who suffers the penalty game.

The last person to use the rubbish bin starts of every game. The rule is that each player using only one hand (wearing no gloves, tongs, or any other protective gear) removes a piece of rubbish from the bottom (close to the lip of the bin), and places it at the very top of the pile. After the move has been made, 2 seconds must elapse before their turn ends, and the next turn begins.

Once a player touches a piece, the commitment-rule means the player must use that piece - no switching or replacing the piece to choose another. At this point, the player for the duration of their turn is not allowed to touch any other rubbish, or any part of the bin itself.

At no time are other players allowed to physically force another player into making an error. Doing so forfeits you the game. At any time, for health concerns or sympathy, a player is allowed to concede defeat.

The loser of the game is the player who, during their turn, has a piece of rubbish fall and hit the floor. The purpose of the game obviously is to avoid being this unlucky person.

Hard-core Level:

Any player who can balance a chosen piece of rubbish on their forehead for 10 seconds without it falling off is removed from the game, and considered exempt from penalty. The piece of rubbish used must by organic (i.e. Food).

Rubbish Jenga can be played with any number of people - including one person, if you really are that opposed to rubbish duty.

Platform: The kitchen floor.
Target Audience: Young adults flatmate, with a large sense of humour, and little regard for hygiene.

A single/ two-player 3D beat-em-up, where two angry giraffes are inside a ring, manoeuvring around and using their necks to battle it out, fight club style.

A player takes control of a giraffe, where you are then placed in the wild plains of the African Sahara, where your objective is to find, provoke, challenge, fight, and triumph against as many other like-minded angry giraffes as possible.

When encountering a new opponent, game screen overlays a boundary, and a countdown for the match to begin. The control uses a gaming controller:

• Left thumb-stick to move directions
• R1/R2 to rotate view and facing direction
• Right thumb-stick to attack, swinging the neck by making different combinations.

The core mechanic of giraffe fighting involves the swinging of the neck to attack/ defend. Each giraffe has a health gauge. Every time you swing your neck or get hit, your exhaustion causes your health to decrease. The match ends when one giraffe's health is completely depleted, causing it to lose consciousness, leaving the remaining giraffe as the winner.

Every time your giraffe wins, one of their spots turns gold – thus making notoriety to other giraffes. This in-turn attracts more aggressive opponents. As a result, it is possible to end up with a completely golden, notorious, heavyweight fighting giraffe, that struts around dominating the Sahara.

Platform: Next-gen consoles – Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Wii ϋ.
Target Audience: Teenagers 16 years and older (contains violence).

A puzzle game for mobile device, where players solves challenges involving grouping dots of liquid together to form specific combinations of colours.

This is done by 'touching' and 'dragging' over a dot, pulling them along and grouping together with other dots to form larger dots. Each dot has a colour, which, like mixing watercolour paint, forms a different overall colour when combined. One 'move', is the period between your fingers touching, and lifting off the device.

You begin each level, given the particular pallet of colour required. Each level has different numbers and colours of dots. The goal of each level is create only the given pallet of colour, and in the least amount of moves possible. For instance, starting in a level with 12 blacks and given a pallet of 3 black dots, your goal is to touch and drag the 12 dots, combining them into 3 in the smallest amount of moves possible.

Colours follow the mixing formula of an RGB watercolour wheel. I.e. red and yellow dots mix to form orange, black dots will mix with everything, negating any other colour except white. Pulling a large enough dot too quickly causes the viscosity of the liquid to break into smaller dots, which can either be something the player tries to avoid, or done deliberately to break up large dots into smaller ones.

Starting off, players are taught the simple mechanics by mixing only like-colours together. This teaches the core game mechanics, and the basic skill required of controlling the speed of drag to control movement of dots, without contaminating colours.

Later on, the levels become more challenging, involving combining and breaking up dots which, in some cases must be done in a specific order and precision to achieve the high score. Other challenges involve avoiding colour contamination with an increasing number of dots - which motivates the player to also improve their control and understanding of the game mechanics.

Platform: Touchscreen mobile devices for Android and iOS.

A game involving stealth where the players identify and follow a target amongst a crowd. It requires the skill in observing human behaviour and discerning different reactions.

Players take the role of an undercover officer of the Stasi, given a photo of a person, which they must then identify in a crowd, and follow. They settings are based in environments involving large numbers of people - shopping malls, sport stadiums, public parks. The goal is to successfully follow a target within a certain proximity for a given length of time, without alerting of losing them - too far risks the target being lost, too close alerts the individual, scaring them off.

Added to this is the challenge of keeping inconspicuous to everyone within proximity. In this game world, everyone has an awareness of state surveilance being carried out, so tipping off a third party has a knock-on effect in alerting your target.

The equipment you have is a Geiger counter, which reacts when your target is nearby. This, alongside reading body language and social cues, comprise the tools used by the player to carry out tasks in this game.

Stasi Land is based off the book by Anne Funder, similar in name and theme. It details the objectives and mechanisms of the Ministry for State Security in Germany, known as the Stasi, up until the 1990 and the fall of the Berlin wall. Their modus operandi involved the protection of state secrets and national security. Much of the book discusses the psychosocial effects of Orwellian control and mass-surveillance.

The game uses a discussed technique discussed in the book, involving spraying irradiated liquid on a target, so they can be followed using a Geiger counter. The game mechanics are built largely upon NPC's showing behaviour that reflects theories of human behaviour in psychology. For example, the Hawthorne effect, proposing humans change their behaviour and body language when it is known they are being observed.

This is a fast-paced game, that satirises a social event in good clean fun, and may be considered practise for those who take winning it seriously. You must successfully catch the bouquet, while preserving your dignity - no physical contact, or breaking the oh-it's-just-a-game-I-don't-really-want-it demeanour.

Bouquet toss - every lady stands smiling among the group, but things are about to get real, really quick.

They're all there - the school friends, the cousins, the aunty who no one has spoken to. All good, clean fun in a tradition/ superstition that holds as much water as Santa or the Easter bunny. But hey - what better way to absolve you of the tedious rituals of courtship, than to simply be the one who catch the bouquet that the bride tosses. Still, this event can be totally awkward for those participating, and more so for those watching.

In this game you play as lady - single, naturally, in the group during a bouquet toss. It resembles a throw-in in basketball, or a lineout in rugby, except devoid of rules, and only social boundaries exist.

Position yourself while the bride in white takes her position. And when the toss occurs, move yourself to be able to successfully intercept the bunch of flowers. Your goal is to do this as gracefully ass possible. You have a meter on the top left corner, which gauges the social boundary, and where your behaviour lies on it. Too much physical contact or moving too quickly is just straight up unpleasant and awkward, and the meter will flash red to indicate that you need to tone it down.

Platform: Gaming consoles - Xbox One, PlayStation 4.
Target Audience: Young Adults who has become old enough to know the awkwardness of certain parts of weddings.
