Idea Generation For Icebreaker (EX3)

Purpose of the App

The purpose of this app is that it encourages people during fresher’s week to interact with each other and try to form friendship groups and the app needs to be a group activity such as the treasure hunt, which I did during induction week.

What The App will do

If I go with the treasure hunt idea, I will need to include a map that would show key areas of the campus that people would be going to on this treasure hunt and would be able to give them directions to these areas in case they get lost.

Also, when they click on a key area it could show them key information about that area/building like what subjects are taught there etc. Also, to encourage people to participate in the treasure hunt as they go around areas of the campus, they will gain points and with these points, they will be able to get rewards

The App can allow you to message other students who are doing the treasure hunt to give hints on how to complete the treasure hunt or just message them, in general, to interact with other students and get to know them.

Target Audience

The target audience for this app will be new university students and students’ age range, race etc can vary so I am going try to make my app be able to appeal to all students so they feel comfortable using it and this can be making the app simple to use and with the messaging feature of the app allow them to customise their profile by making their name, age, where they are from so nobody leaves feels left out.

Theming

Due to the name of the app having to be called Icebreaker so I thought about taking that name literally and making the appearance and the theme of the app to have a winter theme to it and I would have tied the treasure hunt into that to make it fit with this theme.
