Robust Board Type Games
The Entertainment Program recognizes that fact that EdUGames is fun to
play, just like the board game Trivial Pursuit. However, because we can
use the programming power of the server, the possibility exists of creating
robust games which use the underlying EdUGames driver to create points, travel
distance or other items of exchange in the overlying game. A travel board game
where players travel along a road and must play Rounds to advance along the road
or pay for gas is an obvious example. The EdUGames Rounds could be tailored
to the overlying Game. An Example might be material about the state the
player's board token is in.
Parlor Games
The underlying game can also be used as a driven for a
spin-the-bottle type of game in which players are invited to do silly, embarrassing,
or risqué things as they play. The play will be
targeted to young adult couples. An example of a play might be to have one
part of a couple with a mouse be blindfold while the other directs mouse
movements by using risqué words, or by touching. Or the loosing couple
must shed an article of clothing or kiss the winning couple. The game
could play on the truth or dare scenario.
Revenue
The Entertainment revenue model is "pay
as you go by credit card". The pricing will probably be a few cents per
person per Round and average about $3.00 per hour for the board type game and
$6.00 an hour for the Parlor Game.
