GAME CONCEPT
This game is essentially a race where groups of two to three persons make up a team. They go out and recreate a photo based on the images they are given along with allocated objects; a rubber duck and goose items. Teams then return with new images. The idea of the game is to have fun by being the most creative, and fastest team.

The team with the most points wins the game. Blue tooth is involved in transferring information. Duck duck goose is incorporated by the ducks heavy use as a symbol within the game and goose because persons have to be willing to be a bit of a goose to play the game. A glove features as a common item in the goose items category.

THE GAME STRUCTURE
Teams are given 6 or more random images from 3 major locations

Goose items are shared evenly between teams

Teams are given a rubber duck

Teams are to create a new image using the photos we gave them as a starting point incorporating the duck in its original position; otherwise teams are free to be as creative as they like with the image they make no restrictions on perspective composition or how the goose items are worn.

Objective is to be the biggest Goose by making the funniest and most creative image possible Teams have a maximum of 45mins to complete 6 images

The game has a game master that will allocate items, receive final images and add up points tally to give a winner.

Teams to text or blue tooth their images to game adjudicator to be uploaded to flickr

The team with most points by the end wins and gets to keep there duck!

GAME TEST
1st team Kirby and Weiqing took 18 minutes to create 2 photos the 2nd team Michael, Marc and George took 31 minutes to create x 4 photos.

This tells us that infact 45 minutes is enough time to create 6 images at these locations

Players can use strategies such as organization and familiarity with locations, so they don’t back track and they can make use of visualization skills.
