Mandrake Mania is an interactive force-based carnival game designed to measure grip strength through immersive audio and lighting effects. Players calibrate their maximum strength before competing to make the mandrake scream by applying force, with real-time sensor feedback and leaderboard scoring creating an engaging competitive experience.
Through the development of Mandrake Mania, our team gained hands-on experience in sensor integration, wiring management, and real-time data processing. We learned how to troubleshoot hardware instability, collaborate effectively under time constraints, and design an engaging user experience by combining mechanical, electrical, and software systems into a fully interactive product.
