Nailinit × Khushi Kapoor · an actual sleepover

The Secret Slumber Party

Pyjamas, a ball pit and a nail bar. About thirty-five spots, and you had to apply, by chatting with Khushi on a little pink retro screen.

The night: the nail appointment
The application: a DM from Khushi (recreated, fictional applicant)
Let in: the guests’ group chat

Why a chat, not a form

The first version was a normal form, and it felt like paperwork. So it became a chat. Each question is a tiny reply, and it feels like being let in.

Every question was tracked on its own, to show exactly where people gave up. After you applied, an arcade with high scores kept people coming back to beat each other.

The live show from that night later became ppt.live, a tool for interactive talks.
