How is the game played? Is it two players against each other or single player ?

    Dakeum Jung so...its completely terrifying until they realise what is going on

    April 3 at 7:32pm · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung that means we could have all sorts of stuff

    April 3 at 7:32pm · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan But it might be hard to make it believable

    April 3 at 7:34pm · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung we'll pretend to put spiders when infact we are putting crickets

    April 3 at 7:37pm · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan the player not knowing what is in the box could also add some fear

    April 3 at 7:40pm · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung ahhh

    April 3 at 7:47pm · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung so...before i forget i have this class. the game revolves around putting people's hand in dark boxes where they may or may not come to physical harm or such. but so far, the details are pretty hazy

    Dakeum Jung do i need to start collecting insects?

    April 15 at 12:04am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung i thought it was due next week. so i was panicing. but anyways. still gotta do it

    April 15 at 12:06am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan The game if about controlling/overcoming your fear isnt it?

    April 15 at 12:10am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung so ya. overcoming it through exposure. so like. touching spiders to overcome arachnophobia

    April 15 at 12:11am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan Ya, so there is spiders, what other fears can we use?

    April 15 at 12:13am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung ummm blood?

    April 15 at 12:14am ·

    Dakeum Jung clown

    April 15 at 12:14am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan How would we do the blood one? haveb fake blood and get people to touch it?

    Dakeum Jung what a weird preview image....

    April 15 at 12:16am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung so. using spiders as examples. what i was thinking of is a 2 player game. each player gets a box with a hole for them to put their hand in. the box is divided into 2 compartments with a divider board thingy. spider goes in one compartment(or so we tell them) and the hand in the other. each player is strapped to a heart monitor. the faster your heart beats, the quicker the divider rises? thats kinda too technical so we will just display the heart monitor and tell them if they reach a certain amount, we lift the divider.
    
    that is just an idea. i think i have seen it somewhere before but i dont remember. kinda like that mindball thingy but with spiders

    April 15 at 12:23am ·

    Dakeum Jung cockroach also freaks people out. and one of those long legged centipedes(that is just a personal one). and lots of ants. maybe red ant.

    April 15 at 12:25am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung snakes and rats. but i dont want to buy a rat as a pet and snakes need a licence. and a dog is rather too big. we could do needles.

    April 15 at 12:27am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan Umm yer. Floyd has heart beat monitors we could use. I think they are wrist ones. I like the two player idea. But if the spider is in a separate part it wouldnt be as scary for the player. I think there need to be some element of the unknown, where the player doesnt know if their hand is with the spider or not.

    April 15 at 12:34am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung well the divider gets lifted if the player's heart is beating

    April 15 at 12:36am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan Ok so the player is wearing the hert monitor, there is a box with 2 parts seperated by a wall that can be lifted out. Spider is in part 2. The player puts their hand in part 1. If the players heart rate goes up by, for example, 20, the middle if lifted out and the players hand is now in with the spider.
    Is that correct?

    April 15 at 12:40am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung well ya

    April 15 at 12:43am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung or there could be multiple compartments that open up one by one as the heart rate goes up in stages. to add to the excitement.

    April 15 at 12:44am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung this doesnt have to be really complicated. this is just a box that is big enough and a number of glass jars that can be opened up. no need to make dividers and stuff cos that is hard. but functionally, it works fine

    April 15 at 12:46am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan If there was a glass jar with a spider in it sitting on top of the box where the player can see it. that would add to the scariness, then it could be tipped in so they see it.

    April 15 at 12:48am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung to add to the fun even more, we can display pictures of spider bite wounds

    April 15 at 12:48am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung keeping the spider in view as it is dropped in is an awesome idea.

    April 15 at 12:49am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung we will just manually tip it in i suppose. and shake it. cos spiders tend to stick on to the glass

    April 15 at 12:50am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan Yer. The higher their heart goes, the more spiders that get tipped in, in stages?

    April 15 at 12:51am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung ya. or if the tipping thing isnt that exact,http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2020246201394&set=a.1936620590806.55423.1701117436&type=3&theater a setup that is something like this. and then the higher the heart rate goes, you put out the paper(the red thing) centimetre by centimetre. the spider could move or not move. the position is also random so the spider could fall in randomly as well. which is pretty scary

    

    More shit that has to do with uni but are not as important

  • 

    Dakeum Jung i dont want people to actually get bitten so we could prolly put a hidden divider that blocks the spider. the player wont know though

    April 15 at 12:58am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung oh. that thing at the bottom is a hand. and this is a side way view

    April 15 at 1:02am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan Yer. that would work well.
    Is there a way that it ends though? Is it just until the player pulls their hand out.

    April 15 at 1:03am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung well i assume the moment the spider drops, the player would freak out and pull their hand out, there by concluding the game. the other person who didnt freak out wins and gets to gloat

    April 15 at 1:05am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan So it keeps going until one person pull their hand out?

    April 15 at 1:06am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung yup. make sure to occasionally tap the spider jar to freak the players out. gets the hype up

    April 15 at 1:07am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung hype is rather important i think.

    April 15 at 1:09am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan ok cool. im going to sleep now im super tired and have work tomorrow. Madness session is on monday isnt it?
    Also what would we make the box out of? out of shoe box/s?

    April 15 at 1:09am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung umm ya. that would be the right size. and toiler paper roll for the drop..chimney? and jam jars for the spider

    April 15 at 1:10am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung also. that was pretty quick and easy.

    April 15 at 1:11am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung make sure we lie during madness session that the spider has a chance to bite and that it is part of the game. that weird lady is gonna say something about ethics, i am sure.

    April 15 at 1:11am · 
  • 

    Pat Whelan lol. I can get a few shoe boxes tomorrow.

    April 15 at 1:13am · 
  • 

    Dakeum Jung wel... its not due tomorow so. we just have to explain it

    April 15 at 1:55am ·

    April 15 at 5:59pm ·

    April 15 at 6:00pm ·
