Since I'm better at describing than sketching, here you go:
1. Mazes are printed on 2 or more different cards. The set comes with several sheets of tracing paper which are the same size as all the mazes. The tracing sheets are placed over the mazes for the user to solve. The way out of the first maze creates part of a line drawing. The user then moves the sheet to the next maze(s) to finish the drawing, which will turn out to be a dirty picture. Ha!
2. So, there are these giant helmets with bats on them, with little foam balls velcroed to the ends that stick up like antennae. The object of the game is to knock the opponents' balls off their bat helmets, without using your hands.
3. CDs are a terrible way to carry music. They get scratched, The jewel cases are clunky and break. All the audio and visual information on a CD can now be in digital form, like on a data key of some sort. Music stores could also have computers with this information that a user could pay for and then bluetooth quickly onto their mp3 player. I like the idea of a data key because of the opportunity to play with the 3D shape of the music carrier as a way of identifying different bands and albums, as well as creating an artifact that can be easily designed, manufactured (because there is no need to prent and assemble), transported and stored at a fraction of the cost . Since keys can also hold alot more than CDs, bands can also put on videos and album art in digital form if they so chose.
4. Drinking chess. Each chess piece is actually a shotglass to be filled with some sort of alcohol. When a piece is taken, the opponent drinks the shot.
5. Mr. Ex-Potato Head. So, you print up a picture of a not-so- friendly ex. The box comes with stickers of moustaches and devils horns, what have you, and can be later put on the included dart board with darts to go along with it. nuff said.
6. Jewellery that comes in sets of 2 or more, they light up when the other members of the set are in the room. This would be nice for heart shaped jewellery.

Frankly, all of these ideas are very strong. Your lateral thinking abilities are impressive.
The strategy implications of Drinking Chess are fascinating. . . but also sounds dangerous, so I'll leave it alone.
Could you pull the jewelry off by Monday?
How do you create lasting value from the mazes? Beyond the first iteration? Could more than one picture emerge? How do you package
this product?
Could the idea of flash memory delivery be extended to products other than music?
Some sketches would be nice. . .
Hey Ann, sorry i was so long in responding. to me, you're "most fun" and tangibly completable idea is the dirty picture. I think it's really original and creative and would be some that would actually be funny and exciting to play as the players starts to realize what they are drawing. The jewelry's a really rad idea too but i think it would be too hard to do. really cute thought. My friend made these two halves of hearts out of leds for his class. When you put the two haves together they lit up.
