Smart Tiles

Everyone uses their own phone.

On your phone, a random “tile” or “image” appears. (More likely a set of multiple tiles and images.)

It’s your task to place these in such a way that they “match up” (or follow a set of logic rules) before time runs out. In other words, you’ll be moving your phones around and around, trying to find a configuration where all phones match up into a single large map.

Continuing that idea …

Combine your phones to create a random playing board. Not only does it create many possibilities, it can also change over time. (This would be perfect for a time-based game, where the world is always shifting and moving around.)

To make this work with any number of phones and screen sizes, we’d probably need to do this:

  • Divide phone into squares ( = grid sections), but leave some space at the edges.
  • At each side (right, bottom, left, top) add at least ONE connection to the outside world.
  • Then you can just place your phone in such a way that two connections match up.

We could probably do something cool with “your phones are the playing board”, but it requires a lot more thought …
