The rules are simple, players take turns leaning their head left or right to select costume items. In this example, player two is selecting the mustache icon...

STORYBOARD
I created a storyboard that detailed out the flow of the experience. In the initial design, players took turns leaning left or right to grab moving icons. If the head, eye, and mouth items match, a special animation would play.
