Weekly gameplay Insights – Week 3

Jill and I went out for a fun karaoke night on Thursday evening. We were excited for this “happening” the entire week, so we decided to find out why we liked embarrassing ourselves in public while singing old 80’s and 90’s hits and wearing wigs so much.

The first thing we noticed is that everyone that’s present in a karaoke-bar is there to make a little bit fun of themselves. People want to have an enjoyable time with nothing to worry about but the lyrics of the songs. No-one takes themselves too seriously.

What’s also fun about karaoke is when you recognize a song which you know the lyrics of. “I know this one!!!” is something you hear all night long. It’s as if people remember songs they forgot about years ago.

So Jill and I decided to make Thursday evening an official karaoke night.
