Interactive Business Cards

Custom Electronics Design and Build

We created a custom electronics design and build project based on an internal brief to create a business card that combines creativity and fun.

We designed a printed circuit board business card that includes personal details, an image, a QR link to the company website, and a fully functioning game of Tetris on the front.

The card features an LED matrix screen and controller buttons, and is the same size as a traditional business card.

Project details

We’re always looking to help our clients solve the challenges that they face. As an internal project, we set ourselves a brief to create a business card that combines creativity and fun, with a unique method of brand communication. How could we help clients stand out from the crowd by generating excitement and enjoyment?

We wanted to design a product that triggered intrigue through it’s originality. We believe simple pleasures can often be the most memorable, so providing users with a game of some sort seemed to give us our stand-out. The product needed to be the same size as a business card, yet be playful enough to drive interaction with the brand through gamification.

Using one of our specialist skill sets - ‘Custom Electronics Design and Build’ - we designed a printed circuit board business card. The rear of the PCB has personal details, image and a QR link to the company website, while the front features a fully functioning game of Tetris. The design includes an LED matrix screen and controller buttons so that clients and their prospects are able to enjoy a game on the tiny card.
