Game Description:
Immersed into a field of light indications and with the threat of electrical shock, the player’s objective is to act quickly from the cues of the grid of lights beneath them. They must avoid being stationary over a beam of light. Any delay in moving will cause the player to be given an electric shock. Players must do whatever it takes to avoid being shocked and progress in the game. Winning the game is measured on a range of challenges, such as endurance (how long the player spends avoiding the light), pain threshold (the shocks becoming more intense), points based system ( Losing team points by touching the light beam) and basic individual elimination.
Throughout the game, paths of light will be directed through the grid. The player must avoid standing on the light as this will trigger the electrodes the player is wearing to administer an electric shock. The player can run, jump or do almost anything anywhere along the grid to avoid standing on the light. As the game play time increases, the paths of light will become more difficult to avoid, increasing in thickness, multiple paths, and even randomizes networks of light making the players test their mental pain tolerance and physical endurance. As well as offering the player’s their adrenalin fix.

Target Audience:
JumpShock is predominantly directed at young adults aged 19 -25 who have a taste for high thrill activities and the adrenalin rush that comes with. To play JumpShock participants would need to be in a relatively fit healthy state with no extraneous medical conditions such as heart problems. JumpShock is a privately owned business so participants would have to sign a form declaring the above before participating.
Game Play:
Game play involves several types of play:
- Testing the player’s physical endurance, pain threshold and physical fatigue.
- Point based system where points are decremented from the team when a player touches the light beam.
- Red vs Blue, team game where teams battle each other by avoiding a beam of light that bounces off the barriers of the grid. Similar to a game of pong.
Just incase...
Players will all wear a wrist band that offers the player to press a button shutting off all electrical power for relief. However, pressing this button will terminate that play.
JumpShock
JumpShock is concurrently an atmospherically structured source of entertainment. Energetic music will sound throughout the room, and effects such as lasers and lighting will add to the excitement.
