⚠ SAMPLE ROUND

30 SECONDS. ONE PROBLEM.

No menus of options. You write the policy yourself, in plain words. Every plan moves the numbers, the budget and the mood of five groups of very opinionated residents.

Ridiculous and it worked, so Style Points. Leftover seconds turn into score, and the phone rings again.

HOW IT WORKS

RUN THE CITY FROM THE PHONE

STEP 1 OF 4

Read the problem

Each round shows what's wrong and which numbers you must move.

STEP 2 OF 4

Type your plan

Simple words are fine. Say what you'd actually do, not what you hope for.

STEP 3 OF 4

Watch who you upset

Five groups judge you separately. Losing all of them ends your term.

STEP 4 OF 4

Be brilliantly silly

A plan that's ridiculous AND works earns Style Points.
