Hi Reddit,EDIT: don't be confused by the picture, this is not the idea. It's a picture of the kickstarter project which give me inspiration for the idea.I would like to know what you guys think of an idea of mine. Please let me know if you like the idea, or if you think it absolutely sucks, any feedback is appreciated! If it is well received, I will seriously consider realizing this idea.My idea is to develop a LED coaster kind of drinking game. The product will function as follows:You will buy a set of coasters, which will each have an led ring (individually addressable LEDs) around the perimeter of the coaster. The first function of these LEDs will be simply to look cool at night. The lights will light up the drink, which gives the drinks a cool effect. There are however a lot of LED coasters available, so nothing new there.Unlike other products, these coasters will be able to (wirelessly) communicate with each other. If you then add a button to each coaster, you will be able to play games with each other.One possible game could for example play as follows:You get a group of 6 friends, each having their own coaster and drink. You will all place your drinks and coasters in some sort of circle on a table. The idea is that everybody can see all coasters, and can touch their own coaster.The game will now start, each coaster will now shortly light up consecutively, the players will therefore see a light going around the table (in a kind of circular order). Each player will be assigned to one color, which will also be visible on the coaster. When the light is going around in your color, you will have to press the button at the exact moment the light passes by your coaster. You will get a maximum of 3 rotations to do so (for example). Once one player has finished, the color of the moving light will change, indicating that it's someone else his turn. The player who reacted the slowest will be eliminated and has to take x amount of zips of his/her drink. The next round will start, with the light moving faster each round. In the end, one player will have won, and therefore does not have to drink. The idea is that the more round you have survived, the less you have to drink for example.It doesn't necessarily have to be a drinking game, but I imagine that it will be best suited for this since that will be the moment that you need coasters and have friends around :). It ofcourse could also be fun for kids and non-alcoholic drinks :).Ofcourse there are endless games you can think of with the lights and a button on each coaster. So I imagine you can choose between 10 games for example.To make it convenient to play, I imagine that you can stack the coasters on top of each other when not in use. The coasters will therefore all charge together due to connectors in the stack. You will simply plug in the main (master) coaster (using USB c for example) and all coasters will charge at once, without extra cables. Everything will ofcourse be neatly integrated in a waterproof fashion. The coasters will also automatically connect to each other, and only the ones that are taken of the stack will go in play mode. Therefore if you are with 3 friends, you pick 3 out of 6 coasters, and you will be able to immediately play. I also imagine that there for example could be a maximum of 12 coasters that can play together at once. The key is that it will be really convenient to use, no connecting, no wires. Just pick x amount of coasters and play right away.I think that a game like this could be good fun when you have your friends over. The exact technical details I don't know yet, but let me know what you think of the general idea. I hope that's clear. I got the idea when I found this Kickstarter:https://ift.tt/3xFGHkU imagine that the product could be marketed in a similar way.Thanks in advance for any feedback see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
