This is the furthest date back -
I can find of a mention of my creation called:
TRI-WORDS.
On this date a hired a marketing person to evaluate this new game concept.
Maybe I had a prototype -
but probably only drawings.
The image above is of the actual retail game -
done years later -
after we licensed the concept to an educational game company.
The game has been off the market since after Q314 -
which means the third (3rd) quarter of 2014.
TRI-WORDS is a Scrabble like game -
where the challenge is to find highest scoring words or phrases.
But no game board &
three-sided letter tiles -
some tiles beginning any letter you choose,
like the Scrabble blank tile.
The design & packaging -
also created a secondary artwork challenge -
that you can see in part -
in the box below.
The simple challenge is to recreate the 3D steps effect.
The game can be played with multiple people -
or by oneself.
First, specify a number of tiles -
that each player will work with.
Then randomly pick tiles.
Then roll the die & flip the timer.
Everyone has the same time -
to do what the die provides as the challenge:
1) create either one (1) or two (2) words
2) specifies the high scoring color to use.
Any color letters can be used,
but you will get a highest score -
if you use all tiles in the specified color.
Here's a site that features much more info about TRI-WORDS.
I also created TRI-WORDS software -
that given a specific dictionary,
would identify the best play solution -
for the tiles drawn.
I also designed an Assistive Technology Device (ATD) with TRI-WORDS.
The TRI-WORDS ATD used -
both the analog tiles with barcode tech -
and the software.
It was intended to help people with learning disabilities.
It was picked to the USA Ed dept. to fulfill a RFP solicitation.
It went nowhere -
because I did not have an academic team backing the solution.
