Idea 1: Toy Catching

Recently, there has been a hype to this reallyyyy large arcade in suntec and I wanted to take advantage of this project to check out this place. More like a site exploration I guess? I have seen people catching toys and they have been posting their videos online which have garnered a huge audience online. I went to watch one such video with the mentality of “what’s so nice to watch someone catching toys?” and surprisingly its realllyyyy addictive. Therefore, I would like to recreate a Singaporean version of such toy catching videos.
Compared to the online toy catching machines I have shared in class, I would like to head down to a physical store instead as the audience would get to experience the real environment of claw machines in an arcade. At the same time, its easier for me to connect with my live audience for them to help me catch the toys at the same time. Through this live, I would like to convey the thrill of claw machines to my audience such that they will be able to relate the fun and enjoyment of it.
Idea 2: Russian Roulette
Remember how we used to play games like picking up an egg and cracking them with our head? Losers will be the ones with the runny eggs! My second idea will be to do something like a russian roulette style game with my audience. Prior to my live, I will post a poll on instagram to gather drink ideas for my russian roulette. During my live, I will get the audience to choose which cup I will drink from.
This live will be a social experiment to stretch the extreme of what the internet people will suggest and how people will react to this live that I will be doing. (hopefully not extreme as the one below)
