How it Works

Each of the players logs into the game at the same time.

The players are divided into two groups.

Each group commonly follows a process to develop new ideas for the innovation of windows.

Beside following the process the players can interact with each other by the integrated chat system or any other means (direct, phone, email, …).

Each of the players have a role describing how they should behave within the game and which additional information they possibly have.

The process for each group consists of the following steps:

– Individual idea generation: Each of the players provide three ideas documented by a short and a long description.

– Common idea generation: The players discuss their ideas and select the most promising ones per group.

– Idea processing: While processing the idea an unfriendly takeover has occurred. The players must rethink their ideas under these new circumstances.

– Individual idea generation: Each of the players rethinks and changes the three ideas documented by a short and a long description.

– Common idea generation: The players discuss their new ideas and select the most promising ones per group.

– Summarizing: All ideas including their rating are displayed for documentation purposes.

The process can be observed by a game master.

The game master can initiate events which my rewinds the process.

The game is over when the three best ideas per group have been identified.
