Paparazzi on the run game rules
Goal
Today you will work as paparazzi for Breakout News Network. You want to find out everything about your team. Your goal is to earn as much money as possible by delivering juicy, funny and / or inspiring stories to the chief editor. The team that discovers the most information and submits that information to the chief editor earns the most money and wins the game.
Find Information
You will find an interactive map of a large city in the app. Try to find all information about everyone on your team. You can find the information by clicking on the red icons.
Everything you hear or see can be valuable information and can be used by the chief editor.
Navigate
You can navigate freely on the map. However, some parts of the map are not (yet) visible. You can make these parts visible by walking with the phone. For every 250 meters you travel, a larger part of the map becomes available.
It doesn’t matter which direction you walk, what matters is the distance. To find all the information you will have to walk 4.5 kilometers.
Time
The game lasts exactly two hours. Every 5 minutes 1 hour passes in the game. In this way you play exactly one day in two hours. The time is indicated at the top of the screen. Keep a close eye on this time. You must be present at the editorial office no later than 07:00 to provide the information you discovered. That is 1 hour and 50 minutes after the start of the game.
Submit information to the editor
The editorial office is located at the Breakout News Network headquarters. However, the head office is quite hard to reach. It’s in a different city than where you start. You will have to take different transportation options (taxi, boat and/or plane) to reach the main office. Please make sure to arrive on time at 07:00. You will have until 09:00 (10 minutes game time) to provide all information to the chief editor. Make sure you are sharp until the end. You can earn most money in the last moments of this game.
Costs for transport and information
You will receive a budget of 300 euros from the editors. You can use this budget for transportation and for gathering information.
- Transportation: walking through the city is free, but if you want to take a taxi, for example, you have to pay for it.
- Gathering information: there are people in the city who will give you information for free, but there are also people who want a small fee. Think carefully about how you spend the budget. As the game progresses, the fees that people ask for will become larger and it could be that you can no longer buy all the information.
Earn money
The budget that you get from the editors is not enough to gather all the information. However, if you use your paparazzi skills well, there are enough ways to earn some extra money. Sometimes you are faced with some moral dilemmas. Are you the paparazzi who work neatly within the lines, or are you the dirtiest kind of paparazzi who tackles everything to earn some extra money? The question is, what ultimately yields the most…?
Competitors
Of course you want to score the scoop and not let another team of paparazzi take that honor. During the game there are several possibilities to thwart other paparazzi. Take a good look at the map and make sure that you are not screwed yourself and that you are too late for the meeting wth the chief editor due to other paparazzi.
The winner
The team of paparazzi with the most money in their account at the end of the game wins.
After the game
Everyone will see all the facts and stories about your team afterwards. This way you can read everything again afterwards.
