Inspiration
Since the beginning of the Corona pandemic, it has become more difficult to meet people within Munich. However, we believe that especially the Christmas season should be used to meet new people and bring a smile to their faces with gifts.
What it does
Let's play a game of secret santa together in the City of Munich!
During the Christmas season, people should come together and celebrate with each other. Many play the game "Secret Santa" in private groups, where everyone brings a gift that they give to a random other person. We want to play Secret Santa with the entire city of Munich this year! Our idea is that several residents in Munich are matched in an app to play a round of Secret Santa together, where they meet at a set time at a point of interest in Munich, exchange their gifts and come together. This way, many meet new people and maybe experience places in Munich they haven't seen before.
How we built it
We implemented our idea in the form of a mobile gaming app. The app is written with Unity in C# and navigates the user through several questions about the budget, time period and location to arrange a meeting with other Santas in Munich. We also developed a server component with Spring in Java to store information about the users and secret santa meetings in a database. Additionally the server provides the mobile app with information about interesting locations in Munich, where the meeting may take place.
Challenges we ran into
Too much work for only two days.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have a working prototype.
What we learned
You should not get lost in minor details and communicate well with each other.
