Designing games for a fair like FKBo 2025 — a hub for municipal administrators involved in housing adaptation grants — is a creative challenge. You want your booth to stand out, attract a crowd, and also communicate meaningful messages about inclusivity, accessibility, and municipal innovation. Whether you’re working with a tight budget or planning something big, here are 15 ideas divided into four game types that reflect Swedish play culture: immersive, fair, and intelligent.
These games bring energy to the booth! They require physical movement but no creative thinking to win, keeping the competition fair. Their design is visually impressive and hard to replicate — perfect for leasing to clients.
Players race lightweight wheelchairs or scooters over a modular ramp path with adjustable obstacles — simulating everyday challenges in accessible housing. The game emphasizes speed and balance. The structure looks like an abstract version of a city skyline with ramps and railings.
Participants use magnetic pads to “climb” a vertical wall. Each safe spot is shaped like a household adaptation item — grab bars, stairlifts, etc. Wrong spots light up red! It’s a metaphor for safe vs. unsafe adaptations.
A hydraulic or spring-based mini-platform lift mimics a home stairlift. Players must time their step and “lift-off” to catch a floating light ring above. Exciting and visually dynamic!
Participants are blindfolded and guided by a teammate using only verbal cues — the maze includes furniture props to simulate a home. It’s about trust and accessibility, with a strong emotional draw.
Let’s now revisit your core digital knowledge game idea. Here’s a tailored concept for FKBo 2025, built around housing adaptation:
Theme: A home is slowly being built in the background (the endline). Your job? Make sure only the safe, regulation-compliant adaptations get through.
This is engaging, metaphorical, and highly on-theme for municipal innovation.
These are casual-style games that test reflexes or coordination and take less than 2 minutes. First, let’s look at 3 existing games that fit well with FKBo’s theme and are proven hits in the market.
Navigate a wheelchair through a scrolling path filled with obstacles — uneven flooring, carpets, wires. Swipe left or right to dodge. Each obstacle reflects real-life housing challenges.
Grab bars fall from above — catch them by moving your digital arm horizontally. Miss too many and your character slips! Simple, but satisfying.
You must synchronize multiple stairlifts to reach a goal. Each lift goes up/down at a different rhythm — match the timing. It’s rhythm meets strategy.
Flash adaptation situations appear (“Bathroom — elderly person can’t step up”). Quickly drag the right item (e.g. low-threshold shower) to the screen. The faster and more accurate, the better!
Click and drag the correct furniture into an empty room — it must follow rules (enough space for turning radius, stable surfaces). The game ends in 90 seconds when your final room is judged.
Chance games create joy, suspense, and are perfect for prize-winning moments. Let’s look at the best versions for FKBo.
Instead of a classic Wheel of Fortune, design the wheel like a rotating apartment floor plan. Each slice shows a room (kitchen, bathroom, hallway) — when it stops, the screen shows a challenge or prize related to that room’s adaptation.
Customize a large digital Plinko with bouncing pins shaped like adaptation icons (e.g. door handles, stairlifts). The ball drops through challenges — bouncing off regulations and grants — and lands on a prize (gift cards, content downloads, physical swag).
A three-reel slot machine with symbols like grab bars, smoke detectors, and… banana peels! Match 3 safe items and win a prize. Three unsafe ones? The game flashes a funny “Fail!” sign. You still get a sticker.
At FKBo 2025, games aren’t just for fun — they educate, activate and connect. Whether it’s a high-energy ramp race, a thoughtful knowledge scanner, or a thrilling Plinko board, these ideas reflect the values of Swedish public service: innovation, equity, and accessibility.
