LOCKS
LOCKS is a very simple game that can be played with any bit of scratch paper and a writing utensil. You play by taking turns finding a 5 letter word that fits in the grid, and writing in ONE letter from that word. You keep going until someone can’t make a move. As you play, you’ll start to see many different strategies, attacks, and maneuvers begin to reveal themselves!
Originally created on a train ride home, the game is meant to be played in any spare time you have with someone else, like a better tic-tac-toe. I hoped to make something that would be simple and fun, and could be played anywhere, by anyone, without needing a deck or phone or gaming device.
The game was shown at our debut Manifest! showing in the Hokin Gallery, at Columbia College Chicago.
