Exhibition Quiz & Data Retrieval System

Toshiba wanted to drive delegates to their stand to gather information & promote their new laptop range, so decided the best way of doing this was with an interactive game & prize give away.

Our first task was to create a simple game with an interface that reflected the look & feel of the exhibition stand, but was also instantly intuitive, as the contestants only had a matter of seconds to understand and use the interface during the game.

As every deleagte attending the exhibition had a uniquely numbered identity badge, the game automatically asked each new contestant to enter their badge number & queried the database, if their details were already on file they would appear on screen for the user to check, if they were wrong they could update them immediately, thus updating Toshiba’s database, and registering them with a chance to win the Toshiba Laptop.

The game was managed by a compere on the exhibition stand, who was able to start it from any terminal using the password protected control screen. The game displayed the number of contestants awaiting to register on the control screen, so the compere always knew how many contestants were ready to play a round. The actual game was a single round of multiple choice questions about Toshiba Laptops, with the winner of each round receiving a small prize, with a daily prize of a Toshiba Laptop, which was picked at random from all the winners of the day.

The game was a great success for Toshiba, it drew a large volume of customers to their stand, plus expanded and updated their database in the process
