Here are our three ideas:
1. Pearls and Oysters
There’s something very liberating (and often more enlightening) when seeking advice from an absolute stranger. With this app you can post personal qualms for other users to respond to, and in turn offer up your own pearls of wisdom. Each user creates a profile (real/alter ego) including personality traits, life facts, interests, experiences, random fields of knowledge etc (pretty much anything you think could be relevant). This data is then used to filter/direct the visibility of your posts to different users, if so desired (a randomize option is also available). You may want to gain support from like-minded individuals, or perhaps search for complete opposites to understand another perspective. You can request users that are known for lengthy, empathetic, in-depth responses (pearls) or for more of a brief, brutally honest hit (oysters). You can tag keywords, save and ‘favoritize’ users you like, and build your own reputation/’fame’ through ratings and comments.
2. Buddy Bet
Betting is fun. Especially amongst friends, over utterly ridiculous situations. This app allows you to create your own betting ‘events’ and invite friends to join in. Users choose from a library of betting frameworks (from the traditional 50/50 scenario/two-possible outcomes to intricate betting competitions with multiple stages) assign your own rewards and punishments, and enable/disable editing capabilities to ‘up-the-ante’ along the way.
3. Pulse Game
Using a technology similar to Cardiograph, the idea is to have a game where people use their hear rate to interact with others. Players will download the app, select an avatar and fight their friends. Perhaps the game dynamic could be something as the Pokemon Game; when attacking their Avatars can level up and when fight their attacks would be linked to their users pulse. The idea for the game is to create a dynamic that is related to the physicality of the users.
