# DIY Teen Mobiles The 'Fall' Game by the Canadian Design Team Tests Balance Skills By Jessica Marcel | Published 2009-10-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-game References: [aedii.qc](http://www.aedii.qc.ca/v3/membres/?id=2524) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/Felix_Martin) Mobiles are a brilliant way to add an artistic flair to any space. [Moving dynamic art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-machine) has now been turned into the Fall game by students of industrial design at the [University of Montreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-gaming-system). The Fall game provides pieces that can be combined to create different mobiles, all with an autumnal theme. Balance skills superior to even the [best Jenga player](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-tumble-xl) would come in handy here, since every addition changes the weight distribution. The Fall game is constructed from maple, and was designed as a toy for teenagers.
