Here’s a selection of a few that got left behind:Įxplore & Draw is a roll and write game where you flip over 12 cards multiple times and make decisions based on the selection of cards displayed. Many of the finished cats were taken home and I’ve no doubt they are stuck to fridges, counters, and laying on tables all around the country reminding people of the game.

It provided people with the ability to have a rest from all the walking while participating in a fun activity that helped get them invested in The Isle of Cats brand. I was unsure how this would play out but it was incredibly popular, we got through over 1,000 colouring sheets during the 3 days at the show and the table was always busy! The colouring stationĭuring my latest Kickstarter for The Isle of Cats I created 6 outlines of cats which were perfect for colouring in.Īt UKGE I printed these outlines onto nice paper, provided a selection of colouring pencils, and provided a table and chairs for people to take a break and colour something in. The human setup proved very popular with a lot of people giggling, taking photos, and sharing them on social media. I also made sure to place the sticker in front of a banner that would make a great background for photos, giving visitors a reason to stand on the sticker, take a photo, and share it. I slightly adjusted the wording to relate to humans, and then placed a giant sticker on the floor in my booth.įor those familiar with The Isle of Cats it provided a fun moment of discovery, and for those not familiar it gave them a reason to reach out to a staff member to ask for more details. The first of these ideas expanded upon the cat setup instructions found in the lid for The Isle of Cats. Meaning no booth staff were required, people could just walk up, interact, have a good time, and move on at their own pace. This year I wanted to try out some ways of creating interactive areas in the booth that were self-serving. It’s a chance to grow my community while bonding with existing community members, sales would just be a bonus. I recently returned from UKGE, the largest board game convention in the UK and I wanted to share a few of the ideas I had for the booth.Īt conventions, I want people to have a good time at my booth, I want to create opportunities for memorable moments, and to remove the expectation of making a purchase.
