Tricks for Treats is a game that focuses on bringing people in the dorms together in an effort to create inclusivity. Our project started out late as we missed the first day, but we hit the ground running and created a game that will work in tandem with other events on campus and force its participants to meet people from across the dorms in order to gain points and complete challenges. By starting in Red Square and moving across campus in groups at their own pace, they will collect stickers and end with a pizza party back at the beginning.

For Venture Project 1, we were tasked to create a physical game that promoted diversity and inclusiveness. We at Square^3 (Square-Cubed) decided that building a lawn-type game would work best for what we all have with our skills and creativity combined. Block Ball brings an all-new innovative and creative way of playing games, with the barrier to break down walls and invite people into a community where they feel safe and included.

B’Hub is an interactive app that connects the community together through weekly challenges and events. The main map on the app shows all real-time events with the event name, date, time and age range. The weekly challenges is a game that the app users participate in every week. The user completes a challenge and gets virtual currency through the app which can be translated into real world prizes. B’Hub was created to give people a convenient way to see the events happening around town to get involved in as well as giving an incentive to go by earning points for prizes.

Venture project one (VP1) is always fast paced and exciting. We were given the task of creating a game that promotes and/or facilitates diversity and inclusion. Brainstorming from the beginning was focused on finding a group of people who were already focused on diversity and inclusion. We came to the conclusion that we wanted to develop a game as a tool for resident assistants to use to facilitate connection and inclusion within their hall. Lickity Split is a challenge-based game that continually splits one large group of people into ever-changing teams with “would you rather…” questions. This ensures that people get to compete with and against a variety of people and build connections through friendly competition.

In our effort to build upon the theme of a culture of belonging we created Go-Ham! With Go-Ham we wanted to build a sense of belonging within Westerns community, starting at the roots with the Freshman class. We built Go-Ham with the purpose of connecting Freshmen with the greater Bellingham community. The app specifically incentivizes users stepping out of their comfort zone so after you create your Go-Ham profile you can get matched up with friends or you can gain extra points by getting matched up with random students. You can check out our app [here](https://www.fluidui.com/editor/live/preview/cF9pRTVNM240T21LcEVMc0ZrNmlJOUhiN0h0ZXZRMXF5Ng==)

For the first venture of fall quarter my group took on the challenge of creating a game that made a community. First we wanted to make just a physical board game of sorts, but then we decided to be more inclusive and we needed the game to be on a bigger scale. From there we pivoted towards a game that could be played on Western’s campus. We decided that an easy game that we had seen played on campus’s before was a sort of tag game. Before there had been Humans vs. Zombies at WWU. However, this game hasn’t been successful in the past couple of years. To fill that gap and build an even more fun, inclusive game we decided to create the game Spoon Assassins. This game includes an online community, spoons and players of all backgrounds!
