Citizens of the week

On the panel, you can see seven public institutions: railway station, school, fire department, hospital, police office, city hall, community centre. Close to all of these institutions, you find different tasks to do within the white circles. In the circles, there are six different symbols. Each of these symbols stand for a specific category of tasks. The six categories are:

1. Do something: hand and explosion

2. Competition: two groups/champions on stage

3. Information: book

4. Roleplay: two masks

5. Opinion: megaphone

6. Dialogue balloon: tell something about your own experience with this institution

There are also 11 different situations on the panel:

1. Pregnant woman and passer-by

2. You are bored

3. You just moved

4. You are suffering from a burn wound

5. You want to start a business and want to learn more about mathematics

6. An accident happened

7. You need to go to work in a town ten kilometers away

8. You lost your ID

9. Your bike was stolen

10. You want to learn how to write your name

11. You see a pile of garbage that is burning

On the right hand side of the panel, you can see a blue bar. This bar is the scoreboard which indicates how you can score extra points. Players can score points by completing different tasks linked to the various institutions. If they complete a task with succes, they will get one bottle cap. By completing a combination of tasks as depicted on the blue scoreboard, players can earn extra points (e.g. complete one task of each institution, you will get three extra points OR complete one task of each of the six symbols, you get three extra points - so a player gets one point for the task + three points for the combination). The scoreboard pushes players and teams to play strategically in order to earn the most points as possible.
