DEKABO

A cooperative haptic game played with the whole body

DEKABO is a cooperative haptic game where the team follows the cards' instructions to keep a set of sticks from falling. Feel each other's movements and the force in their hands, and notice the kind of communication that voices and glances alone can't carry.

The mission: follow the instructions on the cards and hold the given sticks up together, without letting any of them drop. Sense each other's body and strength as you steady the sticks toward a clear.

As the rounds progress, a wordless exchange emerges naturally, and a small bodily dialogue grows up between teammates.
