Hold your hand over the sensor and try to keep up.

01
Brief & Design

It had to work every time

We designed a chain-reaction minigame that had to run the full sequence every single time, for a queue of guests who each got one turn. It took an iterative design process to get it that reliable.

02
Fabrication

Built, tested, broken down

We built and tested the machine in the shop, then broke it down for transport.

03
Delivery

Reassembled on site at the US Open

We assembled it on site at the US Open. Guests triggered it by hovering a hand over a sensor, then tracked the moving balls and scored as many points as they could before the clock ran out.
