Count It, Solve It, Colour It

Redesigning experience of QR Ang Bao
1. Count It
The opening of red packets has always been something that we look forward to after Chinese New Year visitings.
We love the tactility of these crisp, new notes — especially when it comes to counting — which is a physical interaction that we cannot experience when we are given a QR Ang Bao.
What if QR Ang Bao could be counted similarly to notes?

The QR note comes in the same size and similar colour as the actual note.
QR notes come with "This Way Up" symbol to suggest the correct arrangement.
When arranged correctly, the receiver of QR Ang Bao may scan the QR via DBS PayLah! app.
2. Solve It
Upon receiving red packets, we know that the monetary value is readily accessible and the money is immediately ours to keep.
This, in a way or another, creates an instant gratification whenever we receive red packets even though we may have “earned” them through showering the elders with auspicious greetings.
What if QR Ang Bao comes with a layer of challenge to unlock its monetary value?

The correct QR code in low contrast is placed underneath as reference to solve the scrambled QR code
The unscrambled QR code resembles an old Chinese coin with square hole.
When unscrambled correctly, the receiver of QR Ang Bao may scan the QR via DBS PayLah! app.
Colour It
During Chinese New Year visiting, the opening of red packets to find out the amount we have been given is typically deemed as disrespectful.
With QR Ang Bao, the value we have been given is hidden until we scan it. For the curious young minds who like to take a peek at everything, we could create a point of interaction with QR Ang Bao while keeping the value a mystery until the parents scan the QR code.
What if QR Ang Bao could become a colouring activity for the kids during this festive season?

The grey areas specify where the kids should colour.
As lighter colours could not fully cover up the printed shade of grey, kids are encouraged to use darker colours to improve the visibility.
When all the grey areas are filled, the receiver of QR Ang Bao may scan the QR via DBS PayLah! app.
