Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder which affects the sufferer's life.
Depending on the grade of their fear, the person will try to avoid that thing/situation.
Agaetophobia is the fear of becoming insane or aquiring a mental desease.
The following question was asked to several people:
"if you wake up one morning questioning your sanity, what would you do in order to find an answer?"
The majority of the answers where focuse into an activity in order to check something.
This led me to a first proposal idea followed with a second and more developed one.
IDENTIFY YOUR WAY.
This puzzle's goal is to remember a known short route. An example would be from the railway station to home.
This route would be personalised to the user. On the webpage the person has to introduce the data of the path to follow.
An area of the map that contains this rout would be selected and converted into abstract shapes, disguising the map. Main details (such us rivers, train tracks, main roas) would be left recognizable for the user to be able to locate the two ends of the route.
In this case, the puzzle would be locate it in a smart phone case.
SHAPES, COLOURS, POSITION.
Disguised as fridge magnets, this puzzle is all about recognising shapes, colours and positions.
Two sequences would be chosen and the user has to follow them alternating each day.
i.e. Sequence 1: triangle, square, circle
Sequence 2: green, blue, yellow.
NUMBERS
This last example is based on numbers and dates. The user has to choose a date and the other squares will be filled with random numbers.
The right squares have to be turned around in order to reveal the correct date.
This puzzle is camoufladged into a piece of decoration that could be placed at homer or at the office.
