Project Name Best DAD

Design Notes

“Best Dad?” is an interactive strength-testing game designed for fathers. By transforming a physical challenge into an emotional journey, the project encourages fathers to reflect on their roles and reconnect with their children.

Players strike a device with a hammer. The system triggers questions of increasing emotional depth based on the force of the hit. There are five levels, ranging from light daily topics to deeper reflections about fatherhood.

Only by answering can participants advance and strive for the title of “Good Father.” Through this playful format, the project challenges traditional ideas of masculinity and redefines what it means to be strong.
