SHARK TANK – The Fidget Game

The product that resonated with me the most was “The Fidget Game”. I feel strongly about alternate ways of educating that are efficient and stray from traditional norms, especially for children. I grew up with difficulty learning in the standard go-home study and “just remember” method with no external stimulation (even to this day!). I believe education should be enjoyable and we should encourage alternate methods of learning as everybody is different and has different preferences. It sets the foundation of who they are and is the catalyst for their enhancement.

The product was presented as a stimulating card game that both taps into fun learning, fidgeting, and competitiveness. (She asked for 500K for 10%… 5 million valuation. The gap that this product fills is the need for enhanced ways to help children with literacy. By combining the concept of competitiveness (which is a good incentive alongside general adult validation), and educating efficiently. Everyone knows people learn best by adding a spin to it; whether it be songs or games, this is a great niche.

This also fills the gap of the US literacy crisis where millions of children do not know how to read in America alone, especially after the pandemic. The process of making it fun with an ADHD stimulant popper as a reward makes this product significantly easier. Consumers feel they NEED this product solely because people love and care for their children deeply. Parents want the best for their children and that’s human nature. They want their children to have the greatest advantage that they can. This product is a cheap and highly efficient way to get children to do so. The Sharks strongly believed in this product as well, which is why she got a deal so quickly. She got a deal from Barbara at 15% out of all people… Barbara never makes any deals and it’s a running gag. I actually think this product was presented fairly well. She made 1.3 million in the first 3 months I believe and I’m just a film student in Brooklyn. Who am I to correct it? The packaging is simplistic, gets straight to the point, has a welcoming color scheme, and the concept of the product is in the name itself.
