Students from The Piggott School in Reading won the Design Ventura 2023-2024 competition with their project ‘Colour Countdown’, a portable card game inspired by the childhood classics I Spy and Uno. Designed to encourage young kids to put devices down and ‘look at the world’, it will be available to buy from the Design Museum Shop later this year.
‘You can play anywhere at all,’ explained the four-strong team. ‘You draw cards of different colours – red, blue, orange, green etc – and you have to look around and find objects in that colour.’ Made using FSC-certified card and wood pulp cellophane, the cards have coloured windows to allow for a combination of colours.
