"Gays against Humanity" is a card game that resembles a more LGBTQ+ youth-focused version of Cards Against Humanity. This will be an icebreaker game at our event. Our game is a more safe for work version of the classic game, this also includes relatable satirical refrences for queer youth our age.

Cards Against Humanity Pride Pack

An expansion pack for cards against humanity that includes queer focused humor

Gartic Phone

This cultivates the type of social interaction that we want.

Tumblr

A lot of our humor has been inspired by

2010 tumblr, more specifically the queer side of tumblr.

Initial prototype

Just a google doc where we idea-dumped and narrowed down the general energy we were going for.

Research

We spent a lot of time looking at real Cards Against Humanity cards for inspiration. We also looked at some popular tumblr posts for that style of humor!

User testing

We got a lot of good feedback from our playtesting!

Iteration #2

By the time we were officially printing these, we made 270 answer cards and 90 prompt cards

Final

People seemed to love our game and interact with it exactly as expected. Crowds of unreasonable size formed in two of the three areas, and it seems people didn't actually notice the third area. The corner studio didn't have any other projects around it, so people probably assumed it didn't have anything in it. Still though, the rooms where it was actually played were quite successful and enjoyable.

Perceptions of the Poets is an interactive exhibit that highlights the dissonance between the public perception of queer relationships, and the perception of those within them. It does this through helping the user parse through the weight of public judgement to find the beauty that was enjoyed by the lovers.

Audience testing

• Eye catching, produces engagement

• The interaction loop could be streamlined through refining materials

• Magnet interaction would provide better haptic feedback for a 'completion'

• Consider how the boards being back to back influences the interaction
