The concept for Bump, Bump, Bump began as a simple maze sketched on graph paper. To make the maze more challenging Walter added obstacles (circles) and a simple rule: You must go from start to finish crossing only three circles. Working out this concept on paper was a convenient way to test the maze on friends.

In the next drawing, Walter transformed the straight lines and right angles of the first sketch into a maze of curvy roads.

With the help of an assistant, Walter then painted the roadway on the back of a large sheet of linoleum. Using blocks and toys as props, He made a theme park, which provided excellent hiding spots for the search-and-find game. Speed bumps became the logical choice to replace the abstract circles of the original sketches.
