Game

As a university project, Taser Russian Roulette is a game that I made using an Arduino Pro Micro, a shocking gum, a button, and an RFID module. The game is as fun as the real deal, but without the risk of dying... 👀

Russian Roulette, but nobody dies!

Taser Russian Roulette is, as the name implies, a game of Russian Roulette, but with a taser rather than pistols.

Project description

I made the Roulette using the popular “chewing gum” some of us had as kids and I chose to use RFID cards and tags as “the bullets”.

How 2 build

For this project, the following components were used:

  • Arduino Pro Micro development board
  • RC522 RFID Reader module
  • Chewing shocking gum
  • Push Button
  • LED

Following are the circuit diagram and two photos of my “build”.

How 2 play

Gather ‘round and shuffle the RFID cards and tags. Each player gets a card or a tag. Then, one scans the card/tag, grips the conductive pad and presses the button. Should the card be a bullet card, the player dies. If the card is a safe card, the player lives.

The LED stays on as long as the card is valid. If the button is not pressed, the LED goes off and the previously scanned card is discarded.

-> GL HF!
