Innovative

a) Our idea is helping people to avoid procrastination. We designed a game that players will experience for 7 days on a chessboard. During these 7 days, they will meet different types of excuses. In order to solve the excuses, they should use strategies to collect the solution cards.  The first people who complete the task win the game.
b) Human beings are the central part of society, and most procrastinators are able-bodied young people, the real social labour force. Society will be better and better only when we young people are full of vigour and vitality. 
c) I think if we're going to develop a transformative fun game, it's going to be aimed at young people, so they're going to relate to procrastination. Stimulating the real life event is our “selling points”, and making the excuses and solutions are familiar to everyone. because people tend to accept things that are consistent with their own worldview when faced with new things.
