We decided that the best way to create interaction with the audience was through a game that people would take part in and take away the enjoyment of the experience rather than anything physical. Here are the ideas we came up with:
Idea number 2: Something to take away
We thought that if something was to be taken away from the stall that it should be an item of value to the person. People like to keep things they make themselves so we came up with the idea that we could make small cut out templates for people to make a toy/ornament out of and then take home.
Ideas:
- carnival games
- old fashioned and refurbished - so it takes you back to another era and creates an even more memorable experience
- risk spinner
- darts
- bucket ball
- air rifle
- Whack a mole (or other hammer game)
- guess whats in the box
- fortune wheel
We were all really interested in the fortune wheel and decided to take this idea further to see how we could create a game around it. These are our ideas:
- It could tell you something to do with your day - comparing social media, gaming, internet, movies with physical activities and interactions with other people.
- future or something to make them THINK - you leave with a thought in the back of your head (may be positive or negative)
- made out of MDF or wood - this would be cheap/free to source and a good solid material
- There could be toys or lollies as a reward but this is not as important - could just be a prize on the side but what they really take away is the thoughts
- To create curiousness in people that would draw them to our stall we could have visual and audio elements
- Really big wheel that people can see from a distance/over other stalls
- sound coming from our stall - excitement, draws people over
- music - circus music, ice cream truck music
- cheering from on-lookers or participators in game
- wheel makes clicking noise
Idea number 2: Something to take away
We thought that if something was to be taken away from the stall that it should be an item of value to the person. People like to keep things they make themselves so we came up with the idea that we could make small cut out templates for people to make a toy/ornament out of and then take home.
Ideas:
- fridge magnets/ key rings
- simple 3D puzzle - they get given a 2D template which has shapes cut out, which they then make into some 3D form
- 3 different types - different people will want different things
- still carnival themed e.g. car, elephant
- little cars that are usable where the wheels turn?
- definitely want animals - everybody loves animal toys
- deer - we all agreed that a deer would be a good choice of animal
- recycled materials - people may be more interested in an item that is being recycled rather than using new resources.
- mdf (cheaper)
- cardboard?
- found plastic/acrylic
- have to think about the construction to make toy, it becomes sentimental to the owner because they made it so they want to keep.
- We can make quite basic patterns that people can easily figure out themselves but are also challenging enough that it is still interesting/creates a sense of value
- station, creation station lol - somewhere at our stall where people can sit down and make the toy on the spot and receive help from us if they need it
- punching into card to get out pieces - we decided that we would leave the cut out pieces still attached in the template/cut-out people will enjoy popping out the shapes themselves rather than having it already done for them. It is an extra bit of fun.
- We could do something with extra cardboard, coasters, clock, dividers. Or leave instructions in packaging with suggestions of how people can use it. - this fits in with our theme of recycling and reusing.
- toys size to be hand held
- packaging?
- wax stamp - our logo or another image that gives it more value
- brown envelope, brown paper bag - all part of the experience - like opening a present or letter.
