Virtual Race – Collaboration with Games Design

A physical and interactive game with a virtual map on your phone that you can play with your friends without having to meet up. The goal is to make people feel more connected and encourage people to move around more during the pandemic. 

Equipment: 

A phone that can track your movement or footsteps, needs to be able to call or video call and also participate in a group chat. There will also be an app that will provide the virtual map and the challenges. 

Players:

 4 players minimum (two for each team) 

How the game is played: 

Team A and Team B start at opposite points on the virtual map They are given a notification on the app, and they are given a challenge in order to get a hint for the first checkpoint

The challenges – have level difficulty 1-3, and the group has to decide which level of difficulty they want to do (Can be voted on) When the challenge is – decided then a dice (with random challenges) will be rolled on the app, and the group must do the challenge, the group can decide who can complete the challenge 

If – the challenge is physical they can do it on video chat with the other members in the game to prove they have done it Afterwards next checkpoint is, depending on the difficulty level they cleared the next checkpoint will – if they clear the challenge, they will get a point and will get a hint to where the require more/less steps or have more/less distance on the virtual map

Disrupting the enemy group: 

You will also get notifications if the enemy group is doing a challenge, you can steal their challenge and if you do it faster you can earn half a point, so you have to decide if the challenge is worth stealing for half a point for your own team
