Connect Four Beer Crate
2022-10-27 13:43 - 0 CommentsMillions of bottles of beer are consumed around the world every year. The bottles are often recycled, but what about the metal beer tops? The idea here is to build a game of connect four into the side of the beer crate. The bottle tops can be used as the counters to the game and returned with the empty bottles.

Fun Tram Tickets
2021-11-04 13:57 - 0 CommentsThis is my idea to use positive reinforcement to encourage people to buy tickets when they travel on public transport. The idea is that through buying a tram ticket and having it stamped onboard, you get the chance to enter an instant win lottery. A pretty fun way to reward people for buying a ticket.

The Fun Theory award winner - The Speed Camera Lottery
2021-11-12 15:47 - 0 CommentsIdea: Rewarding Speed Limit Signs - Submitted by Kevin Richardson (USA).
Can we get more people to obey the speed limit by making it fun to do? The idea here is capture on camera the people who keep to the speed limit. They would have their photos taken and registration numbers recorded and entered into a lottery. Winners would recieve cash prizes and be notified by post. Better still, the winnig pot would come from the people who were caught speeding.
Garbage Jukebox
2021-11-27 15:49 - 0 CommentsCan we keep the streets cleaner by making it fun to do? It’s common in both Portugal and Spain to have street parties on warm weekend nights. The problem though is the rubbish these parties make. The solution here is to make a juke box that isn’t powered by coins, but drinks cans and bottles. By cleaning up you can keep the party going.

One-armed Vending Machine
2021-12-15 17:36 - 0 CommentsHow do we get more people to recycle drinks cans? We turn a normal vending machine into a gambling machine, where instead of coins we use old cans as credits to play. You crush you can, the wheels spin, and the lucky ones win a fresh can of cold soda.

Gaming safety belt
2021-12-13 16:27 - 0 CommentsKan vi uppmuntra fler att använda säkerhetsbälte genom att göra det roligt? När människor reser med bil eller flygplan vill de ofta få tiden att gå genom att spela ett spel eller lyssna på musik. Idén är att du först efter att du har satt på dig säkerhetsbältet ordentligt kan lyssna på musik eller ta del av annan underhållning.
