Our second demo was at an elementary school Dodgeball fundraiser supporting autism awareness. There we simply said it shot Dodgeballs for the most part. When kids seemed interested we went more in depth talking about different obstacles and castles but usually they were happy enough with us saying it shot Dodgeballs and us explaining how it did it. The third demo was more informal and was at the school play which we sell snacks at. There were quite a bit of kids in our school who were turned off by the medieval aspect and didn't really understand the idea of Castle defense in fact they really just wanted to play catch with it. We gained a member that day.

Well if you explain it this way, it makes sense . It does make me wonder though, how people can be turned off by the concept of a game being a capture the tower or etc , but no I get it now.
