It’s spring... a time for renewal, rebirth, and lots and lots of rain. What better way to get into the spirit of the season than by putting on those thinking caps for another Quick & Quirky throwdown? Quick & Quirky is our (somewhat monthly) attempt to accomplish the impossible... develop an entire product in 24 hours. This time around, we’re creating the ULTIMATE rainy weather/gardening product. We can’t do it without your help. We’ve got a rough schedule ahead of us, so hop to!

Questions?

WAIT, SO WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
All of our regular Quirky activities and projects will continue as usual. This is a separate event, and the result will be handled as a separate product.

WHAT IF MY IDEA ISN’T GARDENING OR WEATHER-RELATED?
We’re still taking those too!

Head on over to our regular product submission page and submit your idea there

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Either submit your own product idea, or contribute and weigh in on the other phases of development, like industrial design, naming, tagline, and logo design.

WHY PARTICIPATE?
Unlike other Quirky development projects, submitting your idea to a Q&Q is free! Plus, we’re attempting to completely develop a product in just 24 hours... need we say more? Ok, we will. Participation earns you influence (a perpetual royalty on the product) which in turn translates to cold, hard cash.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
We LIVE for this.
