The game is divided into five rounds and a debrief.
In the first four rounds, you will be given evidence that will increase your understanding of the current situation and make the final decision as to where to take shelter.
You will discuss the information that you have in each round in your household (i.e., your small group). At the end of Rounds 2 and 4, you will meet with the other households as a large group to share your thinking.
You must evaluate all the information that you have to determine it is authoritative, current, and unbiased. This evaluation is critical to the decision you make at the end of the last round.
In the fifth round, you learn the fate of your household: live or die?
Rounds are typically played over two classes and are 25 minutes long. There is a 10-minute break between rounds. A link to the digital game (instructions) will be provided in class. The game will take approximately three hours to play.
