Strike it Right A playful look at trash!

Strike it Right is an upcycled educational board game we created during the Play Paradigms elective at NID Ahmedabad.  It blends life-centered design with phygital elements, combining physical and digital components.

Research & Interviews
This story was inspired by The Dream, a poem I wrote in 2014 that questions the purpose of life.

Ice Lolly is a reminder to enjoy life's simple joys. It tells the story of Hub, a curious child chasing material things, only to discover the real happiness in life lies elsewhere.

Clustering & Affinity Mapping
Meet Hub, the heart of our story. He’s a curious and expressive child, with a heart-shaped head that shows his excitement and wonder. His chest is empty because his heart is on his head, symbolizing his deep emotions and endless curiosity. Hub isn’t just a character—he represents the journey of our story. Hub’s design is inspired by the saying “ "Wear your heart on your sleeve".
