The client required a solution to a very complex problem. How do you get at least 15 Android devices to communicate on queue with one another as the show progresses? Furthermore, these devices had to respond in groups and be able to pull information from online.

The key here would be an innovative local solution which could quickly react to events in the studio as they unfold. Also, command a fleet of tablet devices to act on specific prompts.

Background: Premise of the game

Each episode a guy is selected from the bullpen and then interrogated by the girls. First, they come through his social media to try to form a picture of him. Next, they meet him in person where the girls have a chance to ask questions. Finally, he’s given a challenge. 

Each round the girls casts a vote if they’re still  “clicking” with the guy. Those who don’t click are out. The winner of the episode gets to go on a date with the guy.
