New boredom-busting games website launches for Easter Lockdown
A new website has launched to bust boredom and supercharge children’s imagination during the Easter lockdown period. Designed to get kids off digital devices and bring families together through confident creativity, BoredGames.club invites parents and children to play, invent and share family games that only need everyday objects and a sense of adventure.
Conceived and designed by Emma Smith, an interaction designer and artist from Brighton, Bored Games sets out to encourage curiosity, spark imagination and build creative confidence for all ages. Through game invention and reinvention, Bored Games’ mission is to bring playfulness and imagination back into family life, and share the wonderfully inventive games families come up with together.
Bored Games currently has three boredom-busting challenge areas on the website, and a growing Facebook community where people can share their own favourite family games for users to play themselves and then vote on the most popular.
Bored Games is fast becoming a treasure trove of free family games - created by Emma and her posse of Bored Gamers - that can be shared, played, reinvented and enjoyed around the world. Because being stuck at home doesn't have to be boring!
Bored Games was born from the strange world of Emma Smith, a playful interaction designer and artist from Brighton, with a brain brimming with strange ideas, bizarre characters and curious inventions. Emma commented: “I believe we need to get children thinking imaginatively if we want them to become the amazing creative beings, inventors and entrepreneurs that this planet needs. My personal mission is to supercharge young brains with creative thinking and doing, through imaginative play. I want to inspire the next generation of creative minds and make sure they have fun in the process.”
