Want to help me develop a new bar game?
Ok, so I was sitting at a dive bar last night with the owner and some regulars and we were trying to come up with a good idea for a bar game. Obviously there is trivia (which they do on Tuesdays) and Karaoke(which is awful) and now a few bars do Rock-Paper-Scissors tournaments... but we wanted something NEW.

The problem is.. we set some limits on the game....

#1 It can't interfere with other customers too much (like karaoke does)
#2 It has to be almost moderatorless... doesn't take away the bartenders time slinging drinks
#3 It has to not suck

The best idea we came up with is to do a version of CLUE... but here is the unique part... it would be done via an app on your smartphone. The app acts as your "mobile crime lab." There would be an hour signup period for players to join then the game starts.

I haven't really nailed down the details yet, so I intend to use this thread to hash it all out. A couple of cool ideas we have so far are...

Placing some QR Codes around the bar that you can scan and possibly get a clue.

Allowing customers to scan the UPC code on beer bottles to also get clues.

So before I dive in further.. does this sound like a decent game that people would play? oh, also there would be "bar cash" for the winners.

Most bars already have trivia. I was at black angus and they had some lame trivia/Texas hold'em computer game where you can play against others. Really boring if you ask me. There's no excitement. You get a question right then what lol? Next question? Boring.

12 beer trivia:

4 players, 12 beers in front of each.

You ask questions any sober and 5th grade educated person could answer.

Players can answer, pass, or bet.

Answer right you're safe.
Answer wrong, drink beer.
Bet = you go with or against that person's answer. You lose, drink beer. You win yer' safe.
Pass = skips you and next person has no choice but to bet or answer.

Play until someone taps out or runs out of beer...

Yeah that sounds boring man. I guess it's the type of drinker you are. I don't like to sit and think at bar. I like to up and moving around. Playing pool or shuffleboard. Trivia games aren't original by any means, most bars already have trivia you're just turning it around to a drinking game.

Nah, it's one or the other.

People have been studied and are proven to drink less because they can't use their phone/device properly...

Ahhhh, well couldn't you make an app like NTN connected to be bar you're at to play he trivia games on the tv there? The patron would be bringing in their own wireless game remote.

I could do that but I actually have a better idea for trivia that is similar (uses smartphone app to track answers just like buzztime but is much more locally interactive AND would allow the bar to compete directly versus other bars and whole regions to compete versus other regions) but it is far more ambitious than what I am talking about doing right now. Right now I just want something NEW to try (like a murder mystery, clue type game or cdcox's pictionary idea)

So you own a bar that wants to be able to play board games on a cell?
