Gigglebug - Face Race
Start date: Mar 27, 2013, End date: Sep 26, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Kids love to explore how their face works. How it bends and twists, and what emotions they can express by pulling different looks. “Face Race” combines animated characters, infectious laughs and sounds and the technology of the smart device, namely the camera, to design a truly magical gaming experience.In the game’s narrative, the player will meet child-like animal characters from the Gigglebug universe. They invite you to play one of their favorite games called Face Race. In the game, the your objective is to copy the exact expressions that the animated characters make on screen. Can you make this face? (Stick your tongue out) Or this one? (tilt your head and show your teeth) As you try to keep up with the silly sequence of expressions from the animated character, the camera of the smart device snaps photos. Your face acts like a controller and depending on the faces you make, the game will advance further. Finally the animated characters will giggle in joy, as they can no longer refrain from the silliness that you are bringing them - and infect you with giggles too!After playing, you will see a comparison of how your expression matches to the wonky expression of the Gigglebug and his animated friends - who are each unique and convey different emotions that are recognizable to children. As your whole family takes part to see who is the best at making silly faces, you will capture a truly hilarious collection of your loved ones looking most strange. The game has strong viral potential as parents like to share funny pictures to their friends.Gigglebug - Face Race is the third app in the Gigglebug world. When we design Gigglebug games, we think about evergreen play patterns that make kids smile in the real world, and we do our best to interpret those experiences for mobile devices.Laughing together is one of the best feelings in the world, and we want to spread the developmental benefits of laughter to kids and families everywhere.
