Turn it
An offline party game for young adults
Turn it was an invention for the D&AD New Blood Awards 2017. The task was to develop in pairs an offline game for young adults.
The Challenge:
Nowadays most young people sit with their smartphones around, even at a party. How can a party game encourage them to have fun together offline? It has to be easy to play, it should entertain the players a lot and should not take too long to finish it.

The Outcome:
We developed a designer game made out of perspex (so it looks even good when you do not play).
The rules are easy: The game consists of four plates. Each one can be easily turned. There are icons on the plates which relate to the three different card decks. When a player stands with his token on an icon, he has to draw a card from the related deck an to follow the instruction. For instance: Turn one or more plates, fulfill one-minute-challenges to earn extra fields or to use the Joke cards against the other players. The player who reaches first the middle of the game wins. Let's turn it!
