Two players dress as rainbow-coloured caterpillars and wriggle around on the floor, competing to collect the most apples. The game's screen is fixed to the roof inside the fabric playhouse where players stick their heads. To track players’ physical squirming and wiggling, Lucky Frame repurposed a motion tracking controller from the early 2000s, Gametrak. The controller uses two retractable cords connected to ball sockets that can track movements within a three-dimensional space. Each cord is attached to a rainbow sack, allowing players to steer their caterpillar by rolling left or right. This game represents the social side of videogames, designed specifically to be played by groups of people at events.
