Game background
People have been playing games for thousands of years. Many early games involved physical activity and social interaction, which elements are still strongly there in many current games. Electronic devices created us a brand new gaming platform to innovate beyond dreams, and today gaming has become a great industry indeed. Furthermore, frontline developers have proven that electronic gaming is still able to find new intriguing directions, now taking physical movement (Nintendo Wii) and mobile devices (Angry Birds) as significant and popular elements to build on. We are entering a new era, electronic gaming is coming out of the dark rooms, finally seeing the sun, and getting us moving around in the real world and becoming more social.
Bjong, the game, was inspired by several well-known games such as pinball, pool, tennis, soccer, track&field and surely also by Pong, which game started a revolution earlier on. Bjong takes the best elements in these games, fuses them together in an unseen way, and creates a completely new way to experience an arcade game. With our patented technology players are able to play Bjong with simple movements outdoors, experiencing what modern positioning technology is actually capable of. We have seen so many happy faces, all saying "unbelievable!". And this is only the beginning of a brand new era, welcome everybody, outdoors is waiting for you to be amazed, smiling, social and fit...
