About This Work
QR Breaker is a game where you break a QR code bit by bit to test its limits.
In fact, QR codes have a built-in "error correction" feature that makes them resistant to dirt and missing pieces.
By breaking down a QR code yourself, you can experience this surprising mechanism firsthand.
You can also take on a quiz to have fun learning the secrets hidden in QR codes.
How much do you know about the secrets of QR codes? Play and find out!
Behind the Scenes
I knew that QR codes are resistant to dirt and missing pieces, but I started making this work after wondering, "So how much can you actually break one and still have it scan?"
Just looking it up would be easy, but it’s more fun to break one yourself and test its limits.
So I made "QR Breaker," a game where you break a QR code bit by bit and aim for the very edge of readability.
As I worked on it, I wanted players not only to have fun breaking things but also to get curious about how QR codes work, so I added a quiz feature.
Play → Be surprised → Wonder why → Learn how it works.
When you finish playing, you’ll find you’ve become a little more knowledgeable about QR codes without even noticing.
That’s the kind of work I aimed for.
