VolleyBalloon - This seems like a really fun game to play, especially in the yard in the summertime. But for people our age at any time of year, I think you want something more versatile, and with less set up ( - I'm thinking about the net). It seems like it would be hard to market this game. Balloons are easy to find and play with. Maybe if you had a signature balloon that had something special about it? This game seems enjoyable, but maybe not so original. Also, it's only meant for 4 people. You have better ideas ahead, I can tell!
Cocktail mixer - This seems like it would be fun at a party. I like the idea of physical challenges and bets, I think you could do a lot with this game! It seems like players are required to have a lot of ingredients for mixing drinks. This might be exciting - having to prepare for the game. Do you think it might make people not want to play if they don't have enough types of alcohol? I think it wouldn't be a problem (it's the theme of the game, right?) but I looked up some games online (http://www.wildpartygames.com/wpg_dbg1.htm) and they all seem like they are just about getting drunk. I like that yours is a little more classy. I think you've made it simple enough for tipsy people to understand, which is good.
Partner Twister - Partner games are cool. They're like being at camp. I like the twist you've made on Twister! I don't think I really understand the rules, though. Are all the players shouting instructions at the same time to their blindfolded partners? I can't help but envision a bunch of blindfolded people whacking each other by accident as they try to find their spot on the mat. I like the added challenge to the game, but it might be frustrating for some people. Oh! I also like that you've added different body parts to it. But how do you lose? If your bum is on the mat already
Conscious Backstabbing - Ooh, I like this. Your games are really thought out, by the way. You did a great job trying to think of unique concepts. Games are hard to invent! So many exist already. Anyways, I like this one especially. It seems like it could get pretty ruthless, but when I think about it I'm pretty sure it would be hilarious. I don't know if I personally would want to play with no shirt on, but I guess that would add to the appeal for some people? I really like this game. It's a great idea. My favourite so far! You could have refills for the body markers that people would buy. And you could even have a bunch more cards, like "what do you think of my fashion sense" or have blank cards where the person can fill it in with their own question like "What did you really think of my singing last Thursday night?"
Grammy Charades - Is this like Pictionary? I like the idea of incorporating actors and their movies. Are there costumes? It would be neat if there were costumes that the charades actors could wear to try and imitate the actors. There are a lot of games like this one. I think you have some original ideas incorporated into it, like organizing the team to go see a movie, but I think you should clarify the rules.
Orthopedic dancing - This is hilarious! And also cool. I love the orthopedic mat. This could even go with a dance video. The little dance kit is fun, and it gives you a reward - a foot massage! It seems less like a game, and more of an incentive to exercise. I can picture old couples dancing on it. I would dance on it. How do you think you would sell it? How would you make it appealing to the rest of the population that's our age? It's funny. I think the mat could even be sold as a novelty toy.
Nice job, I think you could go further with several of these ideas.
Oh also, I didn't mean to be brutal with some of my critiques. I'd really like to learn more about your ideas and actually talk to you in real life!
Hello iLiaNa and Andrea:
Impressively thorough post and feedback, thank you.
Conscious Backstabbing sounds fascinating, I can't wait to play. . . go easy on me!
