'Noisy Jelly' is an Adventure that Involves a Little Bit of Cook 'N' Play

— March 27, 2012 — Unique
This is the first time I've encountered a game that involves cooking its pieces before play; the 'Noisy Jelly' game comes in a kit that requires players to concoct different jelly shapes that, once placed upon the game board, respond musically when they are touched.

Games that are completely interactive are usually the most fun and Noisy Jelly allows users to be playing even before the game actually starts. The kit comes equipped with jelly powder, water and coloring. Users pour some powder into the provided basins, add some water and coloring then mix away. After ten minutes the jelly will have formed and can be placed on the board. The board has sensors that respond to the jelly being touched and each musical reply is formulated based on the distance and strength of contact.
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Gaming - There is a trend towards games that provide a fully interactive experience, allowing users to be engaged even before the game starts.
2. Cook 'N' Play - The concept of cooking game pieces before play is an emerging trend that adds an immersive and unique element to gaming experiences.
3. Sensory Feedback - Games incorporating sensory feedback, such as musical responses triggered by touch, are gaining popularity for their engaging and interactive nature.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - The gaming industry has the opportunity to develop more interactive and immersive experiences that incorporate cooking elements and sensory feedback.
2. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore partnerships with gaming companies to create unique product kits that combine cooking and gaming experiences.
3. Education - The education sector can leverage the cook 'n' play concept for interactive learning experiences that engage students in a hands-on and sensory-rich manner.
