Zombie Monkey
Zombie Monkey is a project about the negatives of mindless scrolling and how to counter those negative effects with cognitive activities!
There’s a Zombie Monkey card game played in a group, which while already a cognitive activity, promotes other cognitive activities within the game mechanics while punishing those who are chronically online & go on their phones a lot. There's also a Zombie Monkey app for when you’re alone, dedicated to stopping the scroll from the source by kicking you out of your scrolling app of choice and getting you to remember and draw what you scrolled past.
