To improve the disadvantaged elderly's life, we need to make people to see much clearly what the senior social issues are. We incarnated 10 senior social issues as 10 monsters. IDEA: Senior social issues are like monsters, we call out to all youngsters to go full hands on to beat them down! Each monster combined with the interactive donation device, engage people to rescue the elderly by their own power. Ordinary donation suddenly became extraordinary. Instead of easily putting coins in, people need to use their arms to wrestle with the monsters. We placed ten donation devices hidden in ten different 7-ELEVEN store within one city, people can follow the direction to find and beat them. Official event site allows the donator to record and share their combat result of each donation device on social media. The desire of challenge and collection, dramatically raised young generation 's donation frequency.

According to the survey, there's only 8.8% of the youngsters who really cares about the public policy. Most of them highly concerned about digital technology and new trend on the internet, rarely pay attention to the existing social issue.

Also, Taiwanese youngsters love to shop in 7-ELEVEN, and 7-ELEVEN stands in great advantage with owning the most store locations all over Taiwan.
