“MINDBUSTER”

Background:

Mind testing game will be along a path to test and teach the listener on how the mind works in weird and mysterious ways. Games will be played along the path tricking the mind.

Intro [Host]:

[FM Radio static] “Hello! You have been selected to play Mindbuster! Ok listen up, your mind and senses are the key and they are going to be tested, follow the path and listen carefully, reach the end and win the grand prize! You will see someone in front of you waving his arms! Shall we begin?”

Game 1:

“Hello contestant here your mind will be test to see how well you can pay attention to directions. Let’s see how many people can pass this test: raise your right just in front of your face like so [I will be following along with cues showing them what to do] now just stick out your thumb like so, next your index finger good just like that so far so good now make a connection with the two forming together like a circle every one following so far good finally touch the circle to your chin!”[As I move my hand to my cheek instead]

“Now how many for you followed with what I did instead of what I said? Most off you failed to follow my instructions. This deals with the minds perception, how most people respond faster to a visual direction rather than a spoken direction. Now shall we move on further down the hallway in front of you, you’ll see your next mind bending test.”

Transition [Host]:

[Music] “How was that for a warm up? What’s that? You thought you would get the grand prize the easily! HAHAHA, not a chance! Get ready game two is about to begin!”

Game 2:

“Hello again and welcome to your second test. I want you to walk toward the windows and doors and look outside. Study everything. Being inside, you may not be able to hear the sound of birds (bird noises) or the sound of heavy traffic (traffic noises), but you can probably see pretty well. Study the shadows you see and the way the light touches every object. Now that your eyes are in shape you will need them for your task. Turn to the right and walk toward the picture on the window displaying two grey squares.” (I’m going to get a large poster/picture of this).

[pic]

“Which of the two grey squares is darker? (Jeopardy music) Don’t worry; it’s okay to pick the obvious answer.

If you chose one at all, you are wrong. If you said they are the same, congratulations you are correct. Don’t believe it? Move far enough back so that you can fully cover the middle line, where the squares join, with your index finger. Now what do you see? The two halves are exactly the same colour. This illusion is due to the way your brain uses shadows to make decisions.

It is now time to walk down the stairs to your next test”

Transition [Host]:

[Music] “Alright, that one gets me every time! Remember to watch your step on the stairs; we don’t want any law suits! HAHAHA, Seriously be careful.”

Game 3:

"Welcome to the third game, at this time you should be at the bottom of the stairs so let’s get to it. The following game will test your ability to multitask, let’s start off with the rules.
I am going to read a story and you are going to count
How many times I say the word room while walking down the hallway in front of you at a normal pace. To add to the multitasking you must also count how many rooms you pass.”

“Okay remember to keep track of how many times I say the word room and how many rooms you pass, at the end we will check if you have the right answer.”

“Start walking now!”

“In the room on your right is a class, the class uses this room every Tuesday and Thursday. Today is Monday, oh wait maybe it’s not. Perhaps you should go back to that room and see what day it is. No don’t do that because there are so many other room ahead that may know the answer to the question. That is a large stair case in front of you I bet there is a lot of room for people to walk on it. Did you know this building has many rooms in it so that there is enough room for all of the different classes that need a room. Remember if I say the word rooms it does not count you must only count the word room. But that doesn’t matter because we are almost done and you can’t go back and count the rooms. Our destination is the room at the end of the hall, the computer lab room. If you have reached the computer lab room, stop walking.”

“Okay DONE. How many times did I say room? If you guessed 11 then you are right! How many rooms did you pass by? If you guessed 17 then you are right! During the walk did you find that your walking speed up or slowed down? Did you find that the speed of your walking was influence by the speed of my voice and the background music? The reason for this is, when listening to music the tempo affects the breathing of the listener causing the heart rate to increase or decrease.

“Congratulation on successfully completing the game, to get to the next game, follow the hall way to the left where you will see a small staircase.”

Transition [Host]:

[Music] “Ohhhhh Yeahhh! That was a challenge! Having fun? HAHAHA, of course you are! So let’s get to it!”

Game 4:

Welcome to test number 4.
By now you may be thinking that these games are out to trick you. However, on the contrary we are merely trying to show you that your mind is an incredible machine with great brilliance and flaws. Have you been paying attention?
Well let’s test that shall we?
Proceed and face Room #.
You will have 5 seconds to pick and memorize one card from a set of 5 playing cards. Ready?
Turn around.
*Timer ticks 5 seconds*
Got it?
Now stop and proceed to room #.

Still remember your card? Think hard now.
Now watch as I magically remove your card.
It’s gone right?
Did I read your mind and magically remove it?
Did you notice anything strange?
Well you may or may not have noticed that I have switched out ALL the cards.
If you didn’t catch this, how did you miss something so obvious? Well it turns out that you may have been focused so much on your own card that you missed out on everything else. This process is called “change-blindness.” It is when you fail to notice large changes in your environment and it is because your brain can only process so much of the world with the abundance of stimuli.

Now keep walking down the hallway, are you aware of your environment? Did you notice that you suddenly moved into an area of York that is significantly different from where you started? How about the people around you? Or the speed at which you’re walking?
Your brain actually only runs on 12 watts of power, which is technically less than a 3rd of the power that your fridge light uses and has evolved to only focus in on what counts and with incredible detail.
Let’s move on, shall we?

End [Host]:

“The next test is down the hall on the left at the yellow doors, I’ll meet you there!” [Music] “Hey haven’t seen you in a while! What are you doing here? HAHAHA just kidding I told you to come here! I am glad to see you made it this far, these mind busting games where designed to stimulate the mind and teach you something. I hope they have done that. Now you might have noticed that the area you have been lead to is a locked door, well remember this life throws a lot of challenges, just like school it can be puzzling at times. Never give up and never stop seeking true knowledge! [Unlocking sound of doors] Know get ready round two begins……”[Radio static words cut out track fads out and ends]
