Description

Due to a serial of influential social problem about cyberbullying recently, I want to create a toy that help people to understand the feeling of being bullied online and the negative impact of showing malicious intentions to others. Also, play can learn some appropriate way to dealing with cyber bullying. My idea now is to create one computer like box and one heart like bag that hang on a holder. Player pick up cards from computer box and read comments on it. If the comment contains offensive words, the player should put the card into the bag. If the card has positive words, the player can take out one card from the bag. When the cards in the bag are heavy enough and the bag fall down from the holder, the game end.
