Red Buzzer Principle
Everbody wants to push a red button. We unconsciously associate an powerful action (e.g. rocket launching).
Mobile and flexible
The Magic Circus Machine is able to go on tour. The well thought concept makes it easy to assemble and transport. In that way a shopping mall can save money by sharing it with other malls to create effective campaigns for a certain periode.
Kinect Camera
For several sport games we implement a Kinect camera which trags all body movements of the user. That is funny to watch and a high entertainment.
Vending Machine
The user should be instantly reward. That’s why we built-in a regular vending machine. If you win it’ll literally spit out your prize.

Except in high score games because the winner needs to be on top of the high score list after a certain period of time. In that way we use a code which is sent per email to the winner. It is easy to enter the code on the touch screen to pick up the prize.

The Game
The computer randomly select a task. It can be a brain or sport game. The user gets a certain time to solve the task.
There are two types of game: high score or instant win. After winning an “instant win game” the Magic Circus Machine literally spit out instantly the prize from the build-in vending machine. If the user get selected a high score game the user needs to be on top of the high score list when the deadline expires. They enter the email address and gets informed when the game is over. The winner gets a code for picking up the prize within a certain time.
Impressive Look
Unique illustration & hand drawn animation.
The overall design is a combination of old-retro and new-modern styles. On one hand there is the old traditional circus and fun park design of the booth. The retro character is underlined by hand drawn animated illustrations. On the other hand the new-modern character is obvious by the screen and built-in technology.
Entertainment
The user get randomly selected tasks. In that way people need to do games which they probably don’t like. That is funny for the audience.
There are two different types of game: brain and sport. The sport games are just funny to watch and the brain games are interesting because the audience can participate in guessing.
Marketing Campaign
The outstanding design and different characters are ideal conditions to share stories online to get people excited about the campaign.
The design is unique and entertains people. It is very flexible – no matter which platform or media (video, images, audio, compositions). Finally the bright colors and unique design techniques are very conspicuous for themselves – combined with the delivery of personal benefits (e.g. prizes) makes it very emotional for prospects and customers.e
