Wellknown game concepts

Wellknown game concepts like Pac Man, Tetris, Bejeweled, Super Mario Bros, Memory, Wheel of future, etc are great because players understand them at once! Let a Tetris block fall from above and players know what to do. Or present a wheel of fortune to the player and he or she instantly wants to give it a spin. Place turned around cards (with your logo on them) on the table and players soon enough understand that this is memory. In many cases choosing such a well known and therefore well understood concept is a wise choice.

We've made a list of wellknown game concepts to give you inspiration:

• Memory - with your products on the cards, for instance! (small)

• Slotmachine - pull the lever and hope you'll be lucky! Slotmachines are exiting and great in combination with a winnable price (medium)
• A Quiz - Quizzes are hugely popular and enjoyed by everyone. Let's make it visually very attractive so it in no way feels like a survey! Perhaps add a stopwatch? (small)
• Bejeweled - Match 3 games are very popular. Switch jewels (or your products) around in a matrix of jewels in order to get three the same eighter horizontally or vertically. Other versions are "noughts and crosses" and "find 3 in a row" (medium)
