The Mat-tastic Trampoline Scale Game


This is the first of a number of ideas I have for our exertion game, complete with a ridiculously long title. Click the image to see a larger view. Please comment with criticisms of the idea and what aspects we could use for our final game!

You might be wondering, why use doormats? I chose them because they are fairly heavy and have a large surface area. The weight of the mats allows for clear readings on the scale and the large surface area means there can be instances where the mat lands partially on the scale. This allows for an unlimited amount of outcomes as, rather than the player either scoring or not scoring, they will accumulate weight on the scale based on how well the mat has landed. Mats can also be stacked easily so if all shots are on target, there will not be a problem with them all landing on the scale.
