Merry Gizmomas

An Arduino-based Whack-a-Snowman game. Collaboration with Xinyu Bai.

brief

Under the unifying theme ‘Gizmo Curio’, we were tasked to create electro-mechanical machines that celebrate mechanisms and demonstrate engaging interactions.

outcomes

Christmas is a time of fun and joy, therefore Merry Gizmomas takes the well-loved traditional Whack-a-Mole game and minimises its size to a portable counter-top game. It comprises of five Snowmen, which pop up randomly due to the movement of servo motors within the box. Both an Arduino Uno and an Adafruit Circuit Playground were used to create the greatest user experience by delivering visual, sensory and auditory interactions.
