Old games + technology2


Another one.

Cat&Mouse(Japanese name)

is a game usually involves three or more people. Two players are assigned a name either Cat or Mouse, and when the third one says "Cat," Mouse has to run as fast as possible to his/her safe zone. Cat then tries to catch Mouse. The players can stand anywhere they like until the third one calls a name.


Improved version might have:

  • More than two or odd number of players.
  • Screens that display a name or an action.
  • One screen can only show either name, or action.
  • Screens that display the information are selected randomly by computer.


This way, the players need two pieces of information from the screens to know what they need to to. And, maybe this makes the game more exciting...


I hope my writing makes sense. By the way, I'm Junki.


Old games + technology


Maybe, the first step to invent a new game is to improve old games.

So how about something like this:


Hunter-Hunted + technology

Hunter-Hunted is a game where inside c circle, two blinded players look for the stick in the center of the circle. And you can win by hitting the other player with the stick. But, only one swing is allowed.


Improved version might have:

  • Four devices that make noise at each corner of the rectangular area. 
  • If a player comes out of the area, he/she instantly loses.
  • The stick does not necessarily have to be at the center. 
  • As one player gets closer to another player, or the stick, the player's device makes louder noise.

This way, only clue that the players have is the noise from the six devices. And it might be even more exciting. But this game might not have much exertion.
