Frenzy Mart

What is Frenzy Mart?

Frenzy Mart is a game built for patients with Dementia Patient to play. Its concept was meant to help them reduce the declining rate of losing their memories and to also keep them healthy by providing them with some small exercise.

How was it made?

Step 1:
Understanding our audience
FYP Target Audience.PNG

First, we learn about the problems that have been faced by our clients, as well as other disabilities they may have before preparing the game.

Step 2:
Brainstorming / Ideation
First Draft
Software Design (Rules)
Game Visuals / Game Pieces
Hardware Design
Prototyping information

Then, once I have understood our clients. I will then brainstorm an idea using photoshop, whiteboard, or any materials that I can find to draft, draw or prototype the idea allowing my imagination to run amok. This allows me to record down ideas that I have and bring out potential concepts that can be used later in the game development.

Step 3:
Prototyping Reality

Map Tile: Elderlies will be using this to build the map, and move their game pieces.

Food items: Elderlies will have to collect these items on the board.

Character Pieces: Elderlies will be using these characters to help them navigate their way on the board, toward the food items.

Shopping List: Elderlies will be using these to keep track of the food item they need to collect or already collected.

Here is the very first prototype made!

This took over a period of 2 weeks to prepare the board game set using A4 size papers and character pieces from other board games to test the playability of the game for dementia elderlies.

Step 4:
Playtesting and Feedback

This is a short gameplay that I had done with my group of friends.

Due to Covid-19, I was unable to work with my key target audience, hence I talked to student nurses who had worked with dementia patient elderlies.

Feedback Recieved
Step 5:
