DEFINE PHASE

1.The game will be for elementary schoolers boys 
2. The game will be medium in difficulty
3. A game is fun and successful because:
 1. It is a competitive game of two where only one wins
 2. It is challenging because of difficulty
 3. It is innovative
 4. It is attention-calling
 5. It is addictive because of its difficulty


RESEARCH  PHASE
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd7x-F5irBY
2. I thought it was fun because it was challenging game. The air blowing was also arousing for the visitors. 
3. What I think can be improved would be the preciseness of tickets in the box because some flew away. Also, a way to avoid cheating because some people could grab from the floor.

2.I thought the opportunity of different levels was fun so there is a bigger audience. I also enjoyed the challenging part of the game.
3. What I think could be improved would be the 'look's of the game itself. The maze looked fun, but it also looked plain (no enchantment to the eye).

2.I think it's fun because it isn't very hard, and it has challenges within it. You can win, so it is fun for the little kids to gain success.
3.  A problem with the game is that the little hole where the ball must go in is big, so even though you get through the blockers there is a chance for the ball to not fall in the hole.


IDEATION PHASE

1. Our ideas for an arcade game include:
-A mini bowling game 
-A mini moving labyrinth 
-A safe sling shot game that hits a certain target

2. Our final idea is: A safe sling shot game that hits a certain target.

This game will be fun because: the elementary school boys enjoy shooting and action games where you compete against your friends and enemies. The targets are decorated and have colorful designs. This makes the boys be attracted to the game because of visual images. 


Some things that could go wrong would be the inappropriate behavior that could be taken by the kids and the sling shooting guns. The machine could also be destructed and broken. Also, in the making, the branches could be hard to find and also hard to use in order for them to be resistant to all the rounds. We can avoid these by getting the branches beforehand, writing in the targets to not destroy, and making the balls very soft so they are safe for the kids.
