A step-by-step guide to play the game

Form 2 teams and the team with the youngest kid starts the game and has to start with the first game quadrant/area (number 1).

In the first quadrant, the team uses the 5 respective bottlecaps and tries to put them all in the right place in the foreseen empty spots. By doing so, the team tries to get the logical order/sequence of the relevant items, which needs to be validated by a street educator. If wrong, the other team can try until one of both teams wins. The educator puts a regular/normal bottle cap on the team side that has won to keep score.

Independent of who won the first quadrant, the other (second) team can start with the second quadrant and so forth. The team with the most points in the end, wins.
