The Noisy Jelly Kit combines a board game, food preparation, and musical instruments. What? First, you make your own jelly (gelatin) shapes (we in the US would say "jello").
The Noisy Jelly Kit was created by French design students Raphaël Pluvinage and Marianne Cauvard. See pictures of the game and even a video at Fine Dining Lovers. Link -Thanks, Matteo!

With this noisy chemistry lab, the gamer will create his own jelly with water and a few grams of agar agar powder. After adding different colours, the mix is then pour in the molds. 10 min later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board, and by touching the shape, the gamer will activate different sounds.
The game board is a capacitive sensor, and the variations of the shape and their salt concentration, the distance and the strength of the finger contact are detected and transform into an audio signal. As the authors said, the aim is to demonstrate that electronic can have a new aesthetic, and be envisaged as a malleable material, which has to be manipulated and experimented.
