Game Design – Games for mum
August 21st, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Online game for keeping in touch with family and friends through photo sharing.
All players upload interesting photos that they’ve taken recently of themselves, their families or other things of common interest. Note, they can’t access each others photos traight away. Each uploaded photo is turned into a jigsaw puzzle.
The main task in the game involves solving these jigsaw puzzles. Once a jigsaw has been successfully pieced together, the photo is then added to the game’s gallery of solved puzzles and can then be downloaded/printed etc. (effectively the reward for solving the puzzle is obtaining a complete photo of their loved ones).
The rationale behind the simplicity of the game is that a lot of mum’s are often quite overworked and stressed out. They like to unwind at the end of a day (or during a tea break) with something immersive but not too challenging. A lot of mums are also interested in keeping up with what’s going on with friends and family (especially those who live interstate or overseas). Combining photo sharing with a mild relaxing puzzle game might be something that many mum’s will enjoy.
