Abou the project
Who Pays is a simple arcade-style game for people who fight over a bill.
It turn fighting over a bill into a competition of speed where people must press buttons as fast as they can to win their chance to pay for a bill.
Two competitors first put their cards or phones (with QR code ready to be scanned) in Who Pays. When it says “Ready, go!”, two competitors start pressing buttons while a progress bar showing their ‘battle progress’. The winner will win the chance to pay – the chance to show his/her generosity and to save his/her face.
A little game can sometimes help us resolve real-life conflicts, even a tiny one like fighting over a bill. Of course, you can have another ‘fight’ to decide whether you are going to use Who Pays to decide who pays :)
