CHAIYYA CHAIYYA


For this prototype, we have to based on the popular Bollywood music video Chaiyya Chaiyya to make a party game.

Our team has choose the theme of the video as our game theme

  • Liveliness
  • Interaction
  • Dance
  • Unison
  • Excitement (they are dancing on the top of a train)
With these themes we have make a fun game which everyone have to talk to each other and use what each player have to make interesting dance out of it, and show it to others, also learn other players' dance.

Player: 5-15 (can have more players, and reduce the cards in hand to balance the game).


This is the one sample card we have
we design these art style so player can use this imagination
to make the move the same move fun.

Play Time: A whole evening


Components: All 75 high quality game cards


Setup Phase:

  • gathered all the players together and shuffled the deck of cards
  • the host will randomly give 5 cards to each player
  • players need to ordered the cards and be ready

Objective:

      Each player creates a dance based on the cards that they have, and the first player who perfectly execute each dance combination from memory wins.

      Also, players can few winners, for each round after the previous winner, players can reset their dance order or reset all the cards.


Game Turns:

  • After cards a distributed, each player creates a dance routine/order, or card order from the cards they received.
  • Players have until the end of the night or the end of the party to successfully perform all the other players dance moves from memory.
  • This means each players needs to approach, interact with and dance with other players, while they learn their dance routine/order and talk with the player.
  • When a player thinks they remember all other players dance routine/order, they will say so and players should then gather together to judge if their dance is performed correctly.
  • If player have mistakes, other players can let this player to do a punishment game.

      Our game helps to break the ice between players, and help them to make friend with each other, and after the party people may become best friends.

      Overall, the game we creates a very fun party environment and sets up a lot of potential for interactions, while staying true to the ideas portrayed in the Chaiyya Chaiyya video.
