Dr Furby
team project, 2 months

A 2 player physical game based on Dr. Bibber, but you get shocked as the patient, or choked as the doctor.

Participants were extremely positive about the experience. The game generated a lot of positive stress and/or sadistic pleasure. I watched over the players as a gamemaster.

Summary

Tasked to create a game with a digital and a physical, we as a team decided pretty early on that we wanted to lightly torture people in some way. After some being stuck in the ideas phase for a while, someone brought up Dr. Bibber as a joke. 

What soon followed was a game where we had to research choking and shocking safety. Someone had a Furby laying around, so we dissected him and turned him into a Arduino-controlled robot doctor. We tried to mimic the furby's odd way of speaking while we recorded and edited our voice lines. 

One person operates on a patient and gets choked if they don't follow instructions, and the other person is the patient that gets operated on. The other person gets shocked fs the operating doctor messes up.
