Slippery Sushi
Experience
The
The last bite is always the hardest. Especially when your food keeps running away from you! The Slippery Sushi Experience is an interactive game-like experience. Using wooden chopsticks, you try to pick up a single piece of salmon nigiri that keeps slipping away.
In this fast paced game, you can eat what you can catch, so good luck!

Week 1: Concept Ideation
I decided to go with the 'uncatchable' sushi idea because it seemed like it'd be the funniest interaction; I had been thinking of the Greek myth of Tantalus original. It's about a man punished with never being able to eat again. Every morsel of food he attempts to eat runs away from him. I wanted to recreate that experience.
Also, sometimes things slip out of my chopsticks when I use them, and this is a more funny version of that.
