Stuck for something to do this summer? An award-winning digital production company based in the UK has come up with a unique web tool that will help you plan events to go to, based on divining your personality traits online. Searching for things to do in Camden just got much more entertaining.
Mr Eks Camden Players Online Game Matches Real-Life Events to Personality Traits
Often, event listings can either be missed completely in local newspapers or the format can be confusing. Marketing tools needed to get more clever if they were to get people interested in going along to festivals, performances or classes near them.
Which is where the digital production company Coney come in. To promote 101 different events around Camden, London, they have come up with an intriguing online game that claims to read your personality, and matches you to events that are likely to suit.
How the Mr Eks Game Works
On arrival at the Camden Players website, you are invited to click on a range of various images, including a deer, palm tree, ballerina and a thunderstorm. From the choices you make, the mysterious Mr Eks divines your personality type and offers a few events that he thinks will suit you. For those with a creative mind, how about an open air lesson in Argentine tango? Consider yourself an adventurer? You might enjoy a walk to discover London's 'secret' river. Other events include those organised by the British Library, music concerts and plays.
The theme and design of the game is much like a traditional fairground fortune teller, with ornate and beautifully illustrated fortune telling cards that are reminiscent of something from the nineteenth century. The game has a magical feel, and results can be very accurate, and entertaining. The Camden Players game is easy to play, fun and is also quick when played on a web browser.
The Mr Eks Camden Players online game takes the headache out of looking for events that you and your family can enjoy, by categorising them and matching them to different personality traits. So rather than poring over a list of 101 different things to do in Camden, it does make the process of finding something interesting to do in the area much easier. Now that Coney have set the standard, it might just be a matter of time before other regions catch on and adopt similar sites to share their local events too.
