The Experience in short (focus on mini games)
The game is played with a friend or partner. Player 1 and 2 have 5 destinations to discover each located in a city of Switzerland.
Each Station has a personal and sometimes risky Quiz about relationship and a Mini Game that announces the next Station.
The Mini Games start with either of the player touching each one side of the screen with a finger. Then the game starts.
Player 1 and 2 play the game and communicate together to finish the Mini Games
Once the Mini Game is finished, the next destination will be announced and visible on a map.
A few prototypes I did before final mini game concepts
With testing many possible mechanics, clear restrictions to reduce development time and make the games more inclusive had been made:
- Less than 180 Degree
- Easy Gameplay with no fast movement
- Static Position, no walking around required
- Mini Games require 1 arm per player with the ability to hold one side of the phone and move it vertically and horizontally and an extra arm/finger from either player to tap the screen
360 AR Room Projection to collect Hearts hidden in the World.
- This used too much space and Testing in real life was too unstable
Whac-A-Mole style game in AR Space
- Good as less depending on stable projection
Catching hearts hidden inside a layer of boxes getting faster and faster the more you unwrap them
- Fun, but too hard especially for beginner AR user
Only collect the heart, avoid everything else
- Obstacles made it more fun especially looking around

Example Setting up Mini Game Pair matching game in unity
What I had to work with:
- Already existing was a script that destroys the object it’s attached to when touched, which was from a collectible we had from another game
Based on that I created the logic for all the games and for the pair matching game I used this to create “TouchDetection” prefabs that check if they have a their child or not. Seperate from that I made the Pair detection logic on the pairs themselves and there is also a simple gamelogic.
- I also added states, pauses, particle effects and everything necessary to finish and polish the Mini Games
