Top Trumps: Worst Pickup Lines Edition transforms the awkward art of bad flirting into a hilarious card game, designed to bring people together over shared laughter. This project challenges my ability to merge humor, character, and thoughtful design into an engaging product that appeals to a modern audience.

Top Trumps is a well-loved classic, but its traditional format primarily caters to families and younger audiences. My goal was to broaden its reach by introducing a cheeky, adult-oriented spin, while maintaining the recognizable Top Trumps identity.

My process involved:

• Bringing Humor to Life:
  The foundation of this game lies in its hilariously awkward pickup lines. I translated these cringeworthy moments into a visual experience by designing playful, exaggerated characters like the Heart Hunter, Street Stalker, and Cheesy Comedian. Each character encapsulates the humor and awkwardness of their lines, creating a cohesive and entertaining narrative throughout the deck.

• Designing for Impact:
  I embraced bold colors, dynamic typography, and whimsical layouts to amplify the game’s over-the-top humor. Every visual detail was crafted to catch the eye and convey the fun, cheeky tone of the game, ensuring it stood out on shelves and in gameplay.

• Reimagining the Audience:
  To expand the appeal of Top Trumps, I focused on integrating adult-oriented humor while maintaining the accessibility of the original game. This blend allows the product to resonate with a new demographic—those looking for something lighthearted and relatable for game nights or social gatherings.

• Sustainability in Packaging:
  With a growing emphasis on eco-friendly design, I selected sustainable materials and created packaging that reflects contemporary values while maintaining a polished, professional look. The packaging not only protects the cards but also serves as a statement piece that aligns with modern consumer expectations.

The Worst Pickup Lines Edition is a game that sparks laughter, breaks the ice, and transforms awkwardness into a feature, not a flaw. Its success lies in its ability to:

• Engage New Audiences: Appeal to adults through humor and clever design.

• Create Memorable Moments: Facilitate shared laughter and connection.

• Deliver a Fresh Take: Reinvent the Top Trumps formula without losing its essence.
