THE SEEDS

  • They boast a universal UI design that looks a bit like coins, so everyone will know how to play with and use them in an instant. Everyone from ages 3 to 99 will enjoy them. In fact, they meet global safety standards for people 3 and up. 
  • They have simple yet vivid colors that give them an engaging look. With colors like red, yellow, orange, blue, green, pink, and more—and in a variety of hues—they are sure fun to look at. And their eco-friendly water-based HD resolution UV printed graphics (think cats and beans) are adorable.
  • The smartest part? The Seeds have NFC tags inside them! This is how they deliver coded inputs into the box as you play your games.
  • Inclusivity was at the forefront of our design: the Seeds have Braille on them, so people with visual impairments can play Rolling Seeds games.
  • The seeds measure 1.5” in diameter by 0.16” thick, providing the perfect size to grip. Made of premium-quality nontoxic recycled ABS, they’re sure to last for game after game.

THE SMART GAME POT 

  • Along with the Seeds, you’ll need the Smart Game Pot to play. This Game Pot has a simple, intuitive UI. Designed with an obvious power button, it has a smart device mount on top, a seed gate, and a seed basket with a handle.
  • Place your smart device—like a tablet or smartphone—in the mount, and the Pot smart game console lets you physically interact with the user interface and the visual representations of the games on your device.
  • The Pot has a battery life of 10+ hours, ensuring you can play for a couple game nights in a row without recharging. When you need to charge it up, plug the cable into its USB-C port.
  •  Seed Basket: Simply pull down the silicone handle to open the basket, which can hold about 45 seeds. Its anti-slip bumper prevents the seeds from falling out.

THE SEED TRAY

  • The Seed Tray accessories provide quick organization so you can get them ready to play whichever game you’re on at the time. Each tray holds up to 30 seeds, keeping them organized rather than jumbled up on a table.
  • Their vivid pastel color schemes match the Seeds and the Pot, creating an overall cohesive gaming setup. And, when you’re all done playing, you can easily stack them to store anywhere—even if you have limited space.

You won’t need a manual to get started playing games! Say goodbye to spending the first half of game night reading the instructions. Simply roll the Seeds and get started.

U.I. with Emotional Connect: The User Interface is one of the strongest characteristics of Rolling Seeds. Historically, rolling coins and putting them into a container has been commonly used by many different cultures. It resonates with the idea of rolling coins which has been used by humans for more than thousands of years.  The simplicity of the UI in the form of Seeds develops an emotional connect with people.  This involuntary action of rolling the seeds becomes a second nature to everyone.

Design Theme: The Rolling Seeds smart game console is inspired by the concept of a plant’s creation and its growth.  The Seeds symbolize the seed of a plant, whose rolling explains the sowing of seed, the platform signifies a Pot and what is created is fun and what grows is knowledge, joy and bonding.  The Seed Tray used for organizing the Seeds represents a farm field.
