Eg1: Weekly checklist timed test.

Users watch the appropriate videos first if they chose, then they're offered a series of interactive elements around a car and are timed to complete everything. They receive comments from our characters as they complete the tasks. If they pump the air tyre too far for example, they'll get a warning as they hear one of our characters saying 'um, yeah, that'll probably do it..."/"yeah ok, that's too much"/"sure, you can keep going if you want... but (pow the tyre explodes) that'll be three days at the mechanics and ooh maybe a months' rent".

    Eg 2: Driving speed game:

  • Simple game to demonstrate the difference in road speed, in how long it takes you to stop a car.
  • User's own icon/avatar appears and they nominate themselves to drive as gmech, fly or bruce - which will influence their driving style
  • they have to doge the other two who pop up or walk out in front of the car at different times without warning. if they hit a character, the character splits in two and bleeds kenny like red blood before putting themselves back together and saying 'yeah ouch, maybe try driving to the speed limit on the next one and see if you can keep yourself out of jail.

    Better to be late than dead on time!
