In The Playground you go back in time impersonating yourself when you were young. You're playing an innocent wargame in the local playground of your village against your friends. Your weapons are: water balloons, paper blowdarts and a wooden sword. Where this setup is already pretty unique we added yet an extra feature: biofeedback!
The Xbox controller is enhanced to work with a chestband which monitors your heart. In The Playground you can use your heartbeat to unlock special abilities such as jumping super duper high and running incredibly fast when having a high heart rate. Or what about sneaking as an invisible ghost and zooming your crosshair like a hawk when your heart rate is very low.
Decide your strategy, control your mind and body and defeat your friends!

To be able to design a good experience you need to play with the weapons and of course record the sounds.
