Doodle What?!?- A Family Affair!
On a cool spring day in 2011, Chris and Shannon had just completed a fun trip to the Carnegie Science Museum in Pittsburgh, PA with their extended family. Afterwards, they all went to get a nice meal at a local restaurant. After a long day at the museum, it quickly became quite apparent that the dinner had the potential to be challenging. Why? Because the children were restless and had the adults outnumbered, 6 to 4. In 2011, most young children didn’t yet have their own electronic devices to occupy them! In an effort to keep the kids relatively quiet and entertained, and so as to not interrupt everyone else’s meals, Chris invented a simple little game.
Every few minutes, he would give the kids something funny to draw and then he would “score” the artwork and give a little loose change to the “winners.” The idea was for him to come up with ridiculous scenarios for the kids to draw. Chris would say something like, “draw a vampire eating a pepperoni pizza during a snow storm.” The 6 cousins would laugh loudly and then, like magic, they were quiet for 5 minutes while they had a chance to express their creativity and artistic ability. The silly little game made the dinner enjoyable for all. Subsequently, Chris found that whenever he went out to eat with his kids and their cousins, they would always want to play “that drawing game.”
One day, Shannon said to Chris, “that game would make a great app!” And with that, Doodle What!?! was born. Doodle What!?! is a game that will be available in the Itunes Appstore and on GooglePlay in April. It has been in the works for more than a year and it has truly been a fun family project. Using ideas generated by Chris and Shannon, as well as their children, Blase and Greta, the game offers more than 1 million phrases that the user can be asked to doodle. In true family fashion, the cousins from that first day at the restaurant, Aria, Fiona, Julia, and Connor, have also provided their input, specifically regarding what some of the monsters in the game should look like. They also appeared in a commercial that can be found on doodlewhat.com.
The whole Guenzel family is now grateful for the opportunity to share this fun game with kids all around the world. They sincerely hope all of the children enjoy playing Doodle What as much as they enjoyed creating it!.
Chris is proud to work as a sales manager at a global pharmaceutical company whose mission is to help improve the lives of patients around the world. Aside from spending time with his family, he loves sports and music, and playing drums in the rock band, Knuckle Monster.
Shannon has always loved helping children learn, have fun, and thrive. She is a former English and Special Education teacher who now has the most important job of all…staying home to take care of the loves of her life, Blase and Greta.
Blase is a 6th grader who helped with several aspects of Doodle What!?! including creating the funny phrases. He loves science, video games, and playing ice hockey for his school team.
Greta is a 2nd grader who has made many contributions to the game, including creating the original designs for all of the monster accessories. When she isn’t eating candy, Greta loves to dance, draw, and play piano!
