How to play
Remember the Future
Imagine that it’s some time in the
future and that you’ve been using
the product almost continuously
between now and that future date.
Now, go even further – an extra year
or two. Write down, in as much
detail as possible, exactly what the
product will have done to make you
happy (or successful or rich or safe
or secure or smart).
My Worst Nightmare
Imagine your “worst nightmare”
related to the product. Draw a
caricature of their “worst nightmare”
product or service or result of usage.
It could be a monster or simply a
collection of characteristics or
attributes. A “worst nightmare”
sports drink might induce vomiting,
cause dehydration, or simply taste
bad.
