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.

Oh, I love game design.

So your goals are...

Game where people can enter and exit the game without disrupting it.
Game where groups can play or individuals can play (and possibly meet other individuals).
Keep people in the bar buying product, but without pushing alcohol.

Let me think about this,

Sounds a bit like the trivia bar game. Buzztime? So something that didn't work when the bar gave you the hardware to play on will now work on the hardware (phone) that the customer brings into the bar?

Won't take off, sorry, maybe a flash in the pan. Maybe. And I liked the buzztime trivia.

Are we really trying to find a way to seclude bar patrons from interacting with each other? Why even go to a bar then.

That would be awesome

I have fellow players that get mad when I don't show up to play and that includes the bar staff.
