The project stemmed from a 24-hour brief to design an interactive physical game with Arduino. The goal was clear: to create an entertaining experience that gets people moving while introducing a playful competitive edge.
The game integrates two DC motors connected to fans. When players blow into the fans, the motors spin, generating voltage. An Arduino reads the voltage output and activates a series of LEDs, providing real-time feedback on the players’ progress. The harder or faster the players blow, the closer they get to reaching the winning threshold. When a player hits the target, a servo motor fires a rubber band—a fun, surprising indicator of triumph.
