Initial ideas...

After we created our posters and had various meetings, as a group we created a list of 175 children's games by asking our friends and family what games they remembered playing. A member of our group then typed them all up and this is what we ended up with:-

We then went our separate ways and started to think about our individual ideas. 
My first few ideas are not great but I think some interesting concepts could come from them.  I am thinking about looking into the following:-

  • Children's games
  • Mind games/ second meanings of the name of a game
  • A Play on words
  • Thinking out the box
  • Misinterpretation
  • Challenging the mind with multiple concepts
  • Collections (following on form 175 games as i feel it could be seen as a collection of games)
From these I aim to narrow down my ideas and start focusing on one particular concept.
