Creative brief

We are working on a webpage, the main feature of which is a memory game, where the object is to remember a string of up to 7 numbers (and a symbol, a raindrop). The string of numbers will be displayed for a fixed amount of time, before being hidden, and the player will then need to enter the numbers they saw using an on-screen keypad. The numbers get harder to remember as the game progresses and the player's level increases.

A screenshot below is a concept that we knocked up. Don't be held back and come up with your own ideas.

The theme of the game and site is based around water, and the player's progress must be tracked in terms of rain drops, so every time the player remembers the numbers correctly, they add X raindrops to their total. We are envisioning a rain cloud to partially filling a water container with rain drops everytime someone wins the game, but as long as we are showing raindrops being collected, this could be shown differently.

The game needs to display the following elements:
- Player's current level (A number from 1 to 100)
- The number of raindrops the player has collected (Could be a very large number)
- An image representation of the user collecting raindrops when they get the answer correct
- An image representation of the amount of water collected in total
- A keypad, with the numbers 0 to 9, a raindrop symbol and an "Enter" button
- Space for a text entry. This is where the numbers will show as the user enters them on the keypad

The final files should be in edittable layered Photoshop format so we can change the copy if desired (this if for use on a PC not Mac). We will be slicing up the photoshop files to put it into our HTML/CSS and our game.

Please feel free to ask me lots of questions - we are very friendly!

We are also open to concepts that are not based on raindrops but based on other types of amounts of water

To be a little more specific about the deliverables, we are looking for a clean looking site design which includes the logo, tabs and game.

The keypad entry should be simple and easy to use, and should contain the numbers 0-9 AND a raindrop symbol (or some other water related symbol). This means there will be 11 possible symbols the user can enter.

Take a look at our mockup screenshot we have attached to the project for the rough idea of what information is important to display.

Thanks for taking a look! Feel free to message us with any questions for clarification.

We would also like to see submissions that have photo realistic elements. If they are then the material must be copyright free or on an extended license to us and in line with copyright law. Also possibly the use of some earthy colours, a warm playful, charity feel. We would like to contrast these concepts with the clean look style (blue, crisp, web2.0 style).

Slight amendments:

Could we have a little countdown progress bar 2-4 pixel wide horizontal bar. This countdown bar will represent the amount of time that the user has left to memorise the number before it disappears. This should be put at the bottom of the numbers box.

It would be nice if we could have the buttons changing slightly when they are clicked or have a mouse over. Any ideas for this would be great.

We want to add a game play status icon. The three status icons are 'get ready!' 'memorise!' and 'enter!' As the user plays the icons will change through each state.

We also need somewhere on the page to write the txt 'You got it right!'

Any questions please send me an email.
