This is a game that is played during a two-day event by the city inhabitants coming from different backgrounds and representing different disciplines and outlooks. The aim of the game is to generate the best idea on how to improve the quality of life in cities — either in a specific area within a city, the city as a whole, or in response to the common challenges facing cities around the world.

Local stakeholders such as municipal authorities, community groups, cultural, educational and urban regeneration agencies choose the theme, location and participants for each game to ensure that it is tailored to the local context. Teams playing the game identify the common challenges facing the city — environmental, social, economic and cultural. Players design ideas which they then test and refine with the help of practitioners and community members.
