Monopoly Scavenger Hunt

Sole Developer

This game is a twist on a standard scavenger hunt and uses a Monopoly board (from Hasbro) to dictate locations to search for items. The twist from a standard scavenger hunt is that the game is a series of short bursts of hunting. After this both teams and the banker can still talk and interact while getting to the next location. This makes the game more social between teams, and also helps the competitiveness since you can get more immediate feedback on your competitor’s successes at each location.

Storytime

Writer, Designer, Producer, Artist

Create a story with friends using picture and word cards. Take turns at being the storyteller. Embellish the story and help it end the way you want it to. Gather some friends with a set of Dixit cards and the caption cards.

In each round, one player is the “storyteller”. When it is your turn, choose either a picture card or a word card and the other players choose the opposite type of cards to give to you that they believe match to your card. You choose your favourite and contribute to the story using the newly formed picture-caption cards pair. As the game progresses you as a group develop the story further and let it go where you want it to. The game ends when someone says the magic words “The End”. There is no winner, players simply enjoy creating a story together.

Team Ninja

Sole Developer

A mod of the game Ninja to turn it into a co-op/paired/team game. Players must hold hands with a partner and work as a team to eliminate all the other players. If players release hands, they lose.

Get together 6 or more friends together on a field or large open space. Find a partner. Hold hands with your partner. Each team takes turns to move. If your hands are hit, you are out. Try to get other teams out and be the last person standing.

Team Ninja is a great game to play with a mix of children and adults. Children that are too nervous to play against adults can pair up with an adult. It gives children a great sense that they’re in it together and helps build their own confidence.

Guesstimate!

Sole Developer

Make a guess/guesstimate under pressure. Players wait until a circumstance presents itself on a road trip and then they need to make a guess to predict a future outcome. Players wait until the outcome plays out and then they compare their guesstimate with the actual result.

The gameplay mechanic will make players tense, because they do not know when they are going to be required to make a split second guesstimate.

A car game that helps you estimate distances and pass the time on long journeys. While driving on a road, attempt to guess the distance between your car and oncoming traffic as measured by cat eye markers mounted on posts on the side of the road.

Players need pay attention to the road and road conditions. When you are the “guesser” you need to wait until the “caller” sees a car. When they do, you’ll have to quickly guess how many markers you will pass before the other car passes you.
