Fun Interactive DUI Deterrent. For Men.

The following is a wonderfully creative answer from Saatchi & Saatchi, germany to a creative directive to come up with a way to sell a taxi service. Well, at least to men.



About the Piss-Screen


1. The Brief

Frankfurt Taxi Services asked us to do something for them in bars, so that people would take a taxi, instead of driving home drunk with their own car. We thought “Right”, drinking and driving isn´t a game and started thinking.

2. Our Solution - The Piss-Screen

The Piss-Screen is a pressure-sensitive Inlay for Urinals, to play a game with your pee. The game is displayed on a Screen above the urinal. We teamed up with bars across Frankfurt, and installed the Piss-Screen in the mens Restrooms. We designed a driving game in the style of Need for Speed with the clue, that people would have a terrible crash into the oncoming-traffic if their reaction time was too slow.



After the crash we placed the message.


3. The Message

“Too pissed to drive?”

“Take a Taxi instead!”

“Call: 069-733030″

4. The Effect
The effect was pretty simple, the more drinks people had, the more they had to go to the toilet. Because you will normally not expect such a thing as the piss-screen on a ordinary toilet, we and the client were quiet sure that people would remember that drink-driving isn`t a game.
