About ‘Who Wants to Be’?

dsc_0056.JPGDid you know that in the ‘Ask the Audience’ bit of the TV game show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionnaire, the audience is right 98.9% of the time? ‘Who Wants to Be’ was born when we realised that if the audience could set the questions, as well as giving the answers, and and making up the rules - we’d have a recipe for social change.ch08.JPG

Using an ‘Ask the Audience’ computer vision voting system that we’ve designed for use by an unlimited number of rowdy people, participants in Who Wants to Be can really shape the agenda - proposing ideas, discussing them and then voting on anything - even the rules of the game!

For example:

  • A crowd in front of Peckham library used Who Wants to Be? to collectively design and commission an advert to change people’s negative opinion of Peckham.
  • The first public game: ‘Chapelfield of Dreams‘ helped the people of Norwich decide on a collective vision for the future of their much-loved public park Chapelfield Gardens.
  • The first experimental game started with an audience of 100 people paying £10 each, and deciding what to do with £1000 of the box-office takings.
