A catapult controller in front of a screen showing the head of Michelangelo's David covered in tomato splats

Beano: The Art of Breaking the Rules was an exhibition celebrating the history of The Beano comic, we were commissioned to create a game that allowed visitors to channel their inner Dennis and destroy precious works of art by firing fruits and vegetables from a 'slingshot.'  


For the game, we built a custom controller shaped like Dennis' traditional slingshot. Using technology similar to that of a Wii controller, we were able to aim our projectiles on the screen. Various works of art on the screen would be bombarded with tomatoes until a certain point, at which a much heftier vegetable would be deployed to destroy the piece.  


The exhibition ran for 4 months at London's Somerset House.
