Bar Installs Urine-Controlled Video Games

A London bar has installed a video game above its men’s room urinals that the game’s designer says is the world’s first to be controlled by urine flow. The Exhibit bar said the 12-inch screens feature games including simulated skiing, fire extinguishing and a trivia challenge. All of the games are controlled by the player aiming his stream. The games give players codes at the end of rounds to allow them to enter their scores at online leader boards. Game designer Gordon MacSween said the games have proved to be a boon for advertisers who have seen sales of their products rise since they were installed as well as helping the bar owners prevent damage to their bathrooms. “Because people are having a laugh, there’s a lot less vandalism – people tend to get less angry,” he said.
