OutRandom

is a game with a different concept.

The only task for the players is to push the buttons in an order that's as unpredictable as possible. Who is the most random, wins.

 

The game is played by maximally three players on an arcade-like installation, and is simply controlled with two pushbuttons per player. Each sequence of 60 button presses spawns one creature, its strength equal to the randomness of the sequence. Each player's creatures then fight each other in a battle area that's projected onto the wall.

 

OutRandom shows that acting randomly is a skill that you can train and that's very suitable for competition. It challenges the players to think of diverse strategies for dealing with the task of being random
