Ways of converging our game Bamboozel

The game we have decided to use is the game bamboozled which is featured on the TV show friends.




Bamboozle is a game show where the contestants have to answer many complicated  questions based on general knowledge. It has several interesting twists, which keeps the audience and player interested such as the wheel of fortune and the wicked wango card. The points are based on a scoring system, depending on the participants answers and luck on the wheel. The winner is when one of the participants get bamboozled causing him to lose, making the other person win.


Our game could be converged in many ways such as:
  • Messaging convergence- This type of convergence is particularly helpful for media companies, broadcasters, enterprises, call centres and help desks who need to develop a consistent contact strategy with the consumer. Because SMS is very popular today with any demographic, it became relevant to include text messages as a contact possibility for consumers.
  • Internet-This type of convergence is very popular. For the consumer, it means more features in less space, while for the media conglomerates it means remaining competitive in the struggle for market dominance.
I feel are game could be converged in these ways as its an easy and effective way of getting it out to the public. The Internet could be used for online game play against other members of the public. Also offline play could be done against the computer ,by an accessible download  of the game from the Internet. Also the download could be used on a phone by again an easy download from the Internet.
