The Piss-Screen

About the Piss-Screen


The Brief

Try to encourage people to take a taxi with Frankfurt Taxi Services after they?ve had a few drinks, rather than get behind the wheel of their own car.

The Challenge

So how to capture the attention of any potential drunk drivers? Well, where do most people go when they?re drunk? (Apart from the bar, that is. Or maybe a kebab.) They go to the toilet. As such, we thought the urinal would be the perfect medium to reach our target audience in a fresh, surprising way.

Our Solution

The Piss-Screen - a pressure-sensitive inlay set within urinals, enabling users to play while they pee. We installed this newfangled creation in male restrooms across Frankfurt, teaming up with a variety of bars, clubs and cafés. The game itself was displayed on a screen above each urinal, and would automatically start as soon as someone began to pee. The player could then control the car whilst relieving himself ? if they wanted the car to go right, they simply peed to the right (and visa versa).
