Project Summary
The Boulder Buddy is a project that aims to help climbers through rough periods where it seems their skills are not progressing by making use of one of the oldest and most powerful motivators, rivalry. By pitting users against someone of a similar skill level, they are given a reachable but constantly moving goal, giving them a new perspective on their progress. Boulder Buddy uses playful interactions and its bright, bold design to turn the previously boring and sometimes demoralising process of improving your bouldering skills into a fun game that you can’t wait to return to.
