  1. command jenga
    I think everyone as a kid has played jenga at least once. It is really fun in it's simplicity. After a certain point no matter what it is going to fall and the anticipation when it sways keeps you interested and focused in the game.
    you would have to clearly seperate it from truth or dare Jenga. Perhaps you can gear it more specifically to OCAD students by some how incorporating an art experience into it. The commands could be about creating a communal art piece and the blocks could have different patterns on them making them look really cool as well.
    It would be fun for Claire Canson, Tesca and Daniel

    Baby doll
    Though it is perhaps practical it would not be fun. People would feel some what awkward carrying a doll at 19+ especially if it cried. I also don't think enough people are getting pregnant at OCAD. Also they exist in some babysitting courses
    Maybe you could create collectable tiny babies that hug your pencil and look really cute or a plush toy for adults, something kitschy

    Human 3D puzzle
    you did not really give a lot of information on your idea but 3d puzzles are fun i remeber having a few.
    Puzzles are something that can engage an older generation because they are challenging. If the end result was something you wanted to keep and display than it would be a real success. I don't think you should limit the puzzle to just being a human... unless it is create your own character and there are multiple interchangeable parts. That would be fun I think young adults enjoy an added personal touch, especially creative art students. Maybe some of the pieces could be blank to create your own??

    Robot Dancer
    I love this idea. Being able to pull out this wicked robot to show your friends when you are listening to music would be very entertaining. I think most of the personas would like this, probably all.

    Ball Toss
    Ball toss is most fun when you win something. I think you could add another element to your idea to make it more rewarding and keep interest.
