The Daredevils is a competitive, four-player board game that is designed to put families and friends
against each other and create some devilish chaos. The game follows the story of an occult group called
The Daredevils, who must escape Hell by navigating through the Seven Circles, strategically sell their
souls to the Devil and potentially betray their own Daredevils.
The game’s production involved a mix of illustration, publication design, and print production. Complete
with packaging, instructions, circular turning boards, cards, game tokens and pieces.
Driven by the concept of developing a light-hearted and horror themed game, this project took influence from 1800’s Victorian design. From the use of muted colours to flared serif typefaces and decorated banners and borders to reflect an occult aesthetic. But for a modern and friendly twist, children’s cartoons drove the game’s illustrative characters and pieces.
The experience of humorous, party video games also influenced the development of The Daredevil’s
gameplay mechanics. This was to ensure the game was interactive and simple for young children,
yet complex and competitive for older children and adults.
The Daredevils was constructed through printed cardstock, handwrapped vinyl and laser cut ply wood and box board.
