Discarded Idea 1: 

  • DIMENSION 2390

    A mission-complete type game with a futuristic dystopian narrative.

In the year 2570, humanity has attained the technology to upload consciousness into machines. The lower ranks have been turned into AI robots to slave away for the elites.  The code is absolute but there is a 0.001% chance that AIs will regain self-awareness. These Renegade AIs will attempt to runaway to Dimension 2390; safe haven/paradise for the AIs.

Location: Bugis Street

Players: 3 Renegade + 3 Guards

Guard’s Goal: Catch their paired Renegade using instagram clues

Renegade’s Goal: Complete missions to escape to Dimension 2390 without being caught.

How it works:

  1. Catchers have to track and catch their runner through image clues posted on the joint instagram account
  2. All players have access to joint instagram account
  3. There are mission stations along the route 
  4. If they complete the mission in a certain amount of time, they will receive points/powers? Punishments if the runners are unable to complete their missions?
  5. Document them at the stations (before and after mission?)
  6. Upon suspecting that someone is the runner, catchers will use a code word to verify person (is this a glitch?)
  7. Players will be staggered throughout the 3 storeys.

Secret codes:

  • [The grass is always greener…] […on the ADM rooftop.]
  • [Coffee, tea, or…] […teriyaki?]
  • [Birds of a feather…] […cockblock together.]

HINTS FOR EACH STATION

  • Surveillance Hack: At square area in the middle of the 3rd floor
    • Show photo and ask them to find something that costs ( ? )
    • Make the photo a jigsaw puzzle, hide it in a box, somewhere in bugis
    • $23.90 = CD.JA
  • Disguise: Anywhere on the 1st floor
    • Take a picture in front of a mirror trying on a ugly piece of clothing
  • Fifty Shades of Lei: Sex shop on the 1st floor
      • Ask a stranger to help them take a photo outside the adult store
      • ‘SEND NUDES’ in a scrambled jumble: A romantic two-word r crfcrc millennial phrase used to express their feelings.
  • Tattoo: Have strangers try to copy a picture of a tattoo and draw it on their forearm on the 2nd floor
    • Find a shop where people make memories permanent. Search for a pen (that looks like a spring roll).
  • Lady Killer: Anywhere on the 2nd floor
    • Beta mode: We don’t have a hint for you so here’s your mission straight up: Head to the 2nd floor and find a shop owner. Film yourself winking at one of them and prompt them to wink back.
  • Portal: Stairwell
      • Congratulations — you have completed all your missions! The portal is now open for your escape.
      • Proceed to Level 2. Find this place:

Comments on Dimension 2390:

  • Missions should depend on the theme of the game
  • Should involve teams instead of one person —> The thrill of competing with someone you know.
  • Catcher go through missions to gain visual descriptions of the other player/Runner go through missions to gain superpowers to stun the catchers
  • Hider stays at one level but catcher goes to all levels —> Can deceive but the hider cannot change location
  • Add clues
  • Collaborations between the catchers and collab between the runner
  • Try tweeting words instead of insta pictures
  • Try disguising our Go Pro with a snack box :’)
  • Facilitators hold the GoPro?
  • Missions: Need to be more interesting
  • What is the theme of the game? Interacting with strangers//fashion//sci-fi!!!!
  • TAKE OUT SUBJECTIVE MISSIONS —> Switch to more of like hunting//searching kind of games
  • WHAT IS OUR FRICKING OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME
  • Instructions must must must be clear —> runner was confused
  • Maybe when the runner is caught —> They become catchers////Facils film the catchers whereas runner him themselves

Reason to drop idea: TOO COMPLICATED. LACK OF MANPOWER.
