Un-Reality: The First Idea

Our idea from today:

Exploring the mindset of a child, START: The subjects are invited to a play date, either guided by one of us (Dressed up in a costume) or have to work it out for themselves. The subjects end up outside (outside the library) Party waiting for them there, Balloons and party hats (Maybe AQUA playing?). 

Rachael is waiting for them dressed up in a fairy costume, either face paints them or gives them hats etc. 

They are asked to participate and complete a task - hopscotch or skipping ropes etc.. once completed they are given their next clue, on the way to their next clue is a test, 

Emile is dressed up in a trenchcoat and waiting around one of the corners with a fishing rod with candy attached at the end. Trying to lure the subjects in and tell them to follow him to the party..

This is a test, if they follow emile pulls out a fake gun, and shoots them. 'pow pow you're dead'. if they dont follow emile they end up at their next clue, corey waiting with a sling shot, shooting balloons in a tree, one of them has their next clue inside. Subjects have to pop the balloons and uncover their next clue. 


END: Last clue Tom is dressed up in a santa, 'ho ho ho' come sit on my lap, takes a polaroid of them and writes something on the back, maybe internet clue to progress etc... 


Some other ideas we want to include: Pinata with candy/clue inside. bread crumb trail? hansel/gretal, colouring in book. maybe incorporate a penalty time out zone instead of shooting them, parent figure appears and tells off the subjects for following emile/dodgee character etc..

We had started a group page where we would post research and ideas.
