CEIS420 Week 5 Project Instruction
Project Background
Starting in the summer of 2017, O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and the Department of Aviation originally requested for DeVry students to make mobile applications and games for passengers to interact with. To maneuver around the potential technical and liability challenges inherent in mobile applications, ORD changed the scope of the project to produce a series of web games that could be played within a browser on static, touchscreen kiosks within the O’Hare airport.
When passengers arrive at the airport and proceed through the check-in and security processes, they often walk to their terminal and sit for hours waiting for their flight. To help alleviate the strenuous waiting process, O’Hare wanted a new way to encourage passengers to walk around, explore, and visit the local shops and restaurants. To help passengers pass the time and raise awareness of the opportunities available within the airport, O’Hare wanted some entertaining games that include references to the local stores, potentially increasing their business.
Over the last few years, DeVry students have successfully planned, designed, built, and maintained 25 games for the kiosks at O’Hare International Airport. Nine of those games are live at: http://www.flywithbutchohare.com/ and 16 games are waiting to go live when O’Hare change the touchless policy due to Covid.
The additional un-published16 games are:

CEIS420 Project development from week5 – week8
This project is an individual project. You will be developing a game proposal and performing research on the programming language choice for your game. Please review all existing 25 games and come up with a game idea that is different from the existing games.
This is the to-do list for the rest of the weeks:
- Week5 – Game idea
- Week6 – Game proposal
- Week7 – Research on programming language choice of your game
- Week8 – Project presentation
For week5, please come up with a game idea. This game could be targeted for adults, kids (4-10 years old), or both kids and adults with different game difficulty levels.
Submit a one page word document explaining the game idea and basic concept of the game. (100 points)
