Community

Our audience is the community of students at Carnegie Mellon. With the pervasive culture of academic rigor on campus, our hardworking students may not often feel up for attending social events and activities. This can lead to a sense of isolation and burnout. Our project attends to this issue by creating an activity for students based on their needs: the game is overall relatively short and simple, and students can start and stop it at their leisure and availability (assuming there will be restocking of the beers for multiple groups to be able to play). These clever puzzles allow students to think in a creative way. At their completion of the puzzle, they are rewarded with beer and a perfect opportunity to take a break. This should help energize them, invigorate their sense of community, and let them get back to their studies with a small sense of accomplishment.
