Tales of the Goose: Castle Chase
Tales of the Goose reinvents the classic Snakes and Ladders game by adding interactive elements that bring players closer together. Featuring character selection, LED-lit, sensorized special squares, and app-driven dice rolls, the game combines physical pawns with digital guidance to create a fresh, engaging experience.
Designed for families and friends, it keeps the familiar rules but adds surprises like moving walls and interactive challenges to make every game session dynamic and fun.
Game Overview
Features
LED Animations for Special Squares
The game board includes sensorized special squares that trigger LED animations when activated, providing players with immediate visual feedback and enhancing the sense of progression, surprise, or reward throughout the game.
Selectable Characters with Unique LED Colors
Each player selects a character at the start of the game, with each pawn having a unique LED color assigned to that character, improving visibility on the board and reinforcing individual player identity during gameplay.
Real Moving Walls
Integrated mechanical components allow certain walls on the board to shift position in real time, introducing dynamic changes to the play path. These movements are triggered by in-game events, encouraging strategic thinking and ensuring no two rounds feel the same.
Full-scale Game Board
The game uses a full-scale physical board designed for in-person group interaction, combining traditional board game movement with real-time feedback on the app to create an immersive and collaborative experience.
