Initial Idea
Two people stand across from each other in a dim room, but they are divided by a black curtain. Their goal is to toggle the same switch after the green light is given. If they do choose the same switch, they win a point. After each round, there is a “paw”-like part that pushes the toggles back to their original position. I was led to this idea because I have seen a few videos where someone pushes a toggle switch, and the machine pushes it back, usually with some personality. I wanted to incorporate that idea into this in some way. I also like games that involve working together with some competitive component because it makes you feel closer to someone who might be a stranger. I like the simplicity of the interaction in a somewhat game form. It would be interesting to see how people would react to this and go through this experience together, especially because this interaction is a little goofy. Furthermore, this idea looks deeper into how humans can interact with each other through a computer, therefore being somewhat relevant to my minor in HCI.
Word Equation
Traffic light green AND (Toggle box 1 switch AND toggle box 2 switch) → point

One Idea Expansion
The stuffed animals are attempting a rescue operation from the evil humans trying to get their friends from the claw machine. Three humans are trying to work together to move the claw to grab the stuffed animal.
Person A moves the up and down functions.
Person B moves the claw left and right.
Person C moves the claw forward and backward.
However, the claw machine has a rule that at least two humans must press buttons in order for the claw to move.
Furthermore, every time a button is pressed, the stuffed animal at each control box will try to mess with the human and press the opposite button.
Word Equation
1: ((L OR R) AND (U OR D)) OR ((L OR R) AND (F OR B)) OR ((U OR D) AND (F OR B)) --> M
2: (U XOR D) OR (L XOR R) OR (F XOR B) --> A
